Overview

The various agencies and organisations in the field of nutrition have defined a standard measure for the necessary daily nutritional requirements; these are the RDI or "Recommended Dietary Intake".

The RDI represents the required energy, expressed in kilo-calories or kilo-joules, which our food needs to provide every day in order to maintain good health.

The RDI is expressed in average values which vary depending on factors influencing need (age, state of health, sex, morphology, etc.), and can be briefly summarized as follows:

Important: The use of the information given in a recipe in the context of a diet, without medical supervision, is strongly discouraged. The author can in no way be held responsible in any case of health problems arising from such a use.
