The RDA System
The Recommended Dietary Allowances (or RDA for short) is one of the several nutritional tools that can be used to plan a balanced and healthy meal for one person or even a group of people all together. Nutritional Tools apply to the local context and generally depend on the age and also the gender of an individual.
Other Examples of Nutritional Tools are:
ABC's of Healthy Eating.
The Singapore Healthy Diet Pyramid.
Food Composition Tables.
