Amount of Daily Nutrients

DV is the short form of  Daily Value and which is shown in percentage. A food is considered a "good source" of a particular nutrient, if the food contains 10-19% of the Daily Value of the nutrient. A food is considered a "great source" if it contains more than 20% of the Daily Value of the nutrient.

Cholesterol = <300mg
The American Heart Association recommends less than 300 mg of cholesterol per day through food for people with no heart disease risk factors, and recommends less than 200 mg per day through food for people who have any heart disease risk factors.

15 grams of carbohydrates per day can limit nitrogen loss in the body. And raising carbohydrate intake to 50 grams per day severely limits the need for the body to use amino acids for gluoconeogenesis

Fiber may be beneficial in treating or preventing constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis. Water-soluble fiber helps decrease blood cholesterol levels. 


Protein = 1.2g / kg
The standard method used by nutritionists to estimate our minimum daily protein requirement is to multiply the body weight in kilograms by .8, or weight in pounds by .37.
 1.2 to 1.4 grams per kilogram of body weight per day for endurance exercisers and 1.7 to 1.8 grams per kg per day for heavy strength training.


 = 65g
The average person should have about 85- 100 grams of fat per day. If your on a diet you should have about 60 grams of fat per day.
If you are trying to lose weight, 30 grams of fat. If you are a young teenager about 40-65 grams of fat. Consuming more than 65 grams of fat a day is unhealthy, an adult should have 65 grams or a little less simple.


Saturated Fat = <20g
The United States Health Department states the following on their site: A 1,600 calorie per day diet: 18 grams of saturated fat or less, 53 grams of fat or less. A 2,000 calorie per day diet: 20 grams of saturated fat or less, 65 grams of fat or less. A 2,200 calorie per day diet: 24 grams of saturated fat or less, 73 grams of fat or less. A 2,500 calorie per day diet: 25 grams of saturated fat or less, 80 grams of fat or less . A 2,800 calorie per day diet: 31 grams of saturated fat or less, 93 grams of fat or less. Keep in mind that most women should have a diet of no more than 2,000 calories/day, men no more than 2,500/day.)
