Nutrition Profile Your specific food and nutrient needs are unique and can change based on your height, weight, and how much you exercise. To give you an idea of how you are doing, the following tables and graphs compare your intake for the day to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and nutrient requirements from the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences. Calorie targets in this report assume you have a moderate level of activity.

Note: Calorie requirements vary widely for pregnant and lactating women based on trimester and other factors. As a result, the estimate for daily calorie goal in this report may not reflect your actual calorie needs. However, if you indicated you are pregnant or breastfeeding in ASA24, the nutrient targets in this report will be adjusted to reflect your additional needs.

Calories Most foods and many beverages contain calories. A person’s calorie needs each day depends on factors such as age, gender, height, weight, and level of physical activity. In addition, a need to lose, maintain, or gain weight affects how many calories should be consumed. The target range for percent of calories from carbohydrates, protein, and fat listed here represent the range that is associated with providing adequate intakes of essential nutrients and a reduced risk of chronic disease.

Alcohol Alcoholic beverage intake is not recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. If alcohol is consumed, it should be in moderation—up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men—and only by adults of legal drinking age. There are also many circumstances in which individuals should not drink, such as during pregnancy.

Many of the foods and beverages we eat contain sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars (sweeteners added to foods/beverages during processing or by consumers). Making careful choices keeps amounts of these components within their limits while meeting nutrient needs to achieve a healthy eating pattern.

One alcoholic drink-equivalent is defined as containing 14 grams (0.6 fl oz) of pure alcohol. The following are reference beverages that are one alcoholic drink equivalent: 12 fluid ounces of regular beer (5% alcohol), 5 fluid ounces of wine (12% alcohol), or 1.5 fluid ounces of 80 proof distilled spirits (40% alcohol).

The human body needs the right “mix” of nutrients for good health. This includes eating the right amount of carbohydrate, protein, and fat (these are macronutrients), and vitamins and minerals (these are micronutrients). Micronutrients help your body use macronutrients and support many body processes.

To learn more about the functions of various vitamins and minerals in your body, and examples of foods containing these nutrients, go to https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/interactivenutritionfactslabel/vitamins.cfm (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/interactivenutritionfactslabel/vitamins.cfm)
