Guideline Daily Amount
most food labeling and many recipes now include a GDA Table (guideline daily amount)
indicating the calories, sugar, fat and salt content in an recommended serving
and what each amount represents as a percentage of a person's daily dietary needs -
so as a starter guide for daily food intake and well-balanced meals which can be adapted to your individual needs and lifestyle
GDA recommendations
set for a healthy adult or child of average weight who has an average level of activity
for indications only as some people, including children,
will have different requirements.
