How much of each nutrient do you need a day? These calculators use the Australian Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) set by the NHMRC, adjusted for your age, sex and life stage.
Recommended intakes differ by age, sex, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pick a nutrient below to see your personalised recommended daily intake (RDI or Adequate Intake) and the upper level to stay under. Each tool also explains good food sources and when to talk to your GP.
The Nutrient Reference Values are the official Australian dietary guidelines, set by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) with the New Zealand Ministry of Health.
They include the Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) â the daily amount enough for nearly all (97â98%) healthy people in an age and sex group â the Adequate Intake (AI) where an RDI cannot be set, and the Upper Level (UL) you should not regularly exceed.
These are general population guides. Your GP or an Accredited Practising Dietitian can advise on your individual needs, especially in pregnancy, with medical conditions, or if you take supplements.
