Daily Nutrition Guide

Calorie requirements vary according to your size, weight, and level of activity. This chart is a good general guide; additional nutrients are needed during some stages of life. for example, kids' calorie and protein needs are based on height and vary greatly as they grow. Teenagers require less protein but more calcium and slightly more iron than adults. Pregnant or breast-feeding women need more protein, calories, and calcium. The need for iron increases during pregnancy but returns to normal after birth.
