• The amount of nutrient
considered adequate to
meet the needs of
practically all healthy
people.
• The RDA are based on
scientific knowledge.
• Prepared by the National
Nutrition Advisory
Committee (ICMR).
• The committee revise the
RDAevery 10 years.
• Current RDA of Indians was
set up in 2010.
4
• Provides a guideline for nutrient intake, adequacy,
preventing deficiency or excess of a population.
• Basis: Nutrient intake is assumed to follow Gaussian
distribution, unless it is known to be otherwise
Av : Mean
RDA : Mean + 2SD, 97.5%
In case of energy no safe allowances are made, only
average requirement is made.

REFERENCE BODY WEIGHT
The definition for reference Indian adult man and
woman were modified with regard to age (20- 39y to
18-29y of age) with a normal BMI and a body weight
of 60kg and 55kg respectively.

Is for a healthy, well nourished and active population.
Specify energy requirements in terms of energy
output for productive work and leisure activity of
adults and tissue deposition in infants, children and
during pregnancy and milk secretion during
lactation.
Need to specify an appropriate body weight and
quantum of physical activity “desirable”.
Intake above the actual requirement-obesity
Below-under nutrition.

TEE= - 99.4 + 88.6* kg, FAO/WHO/UNU (2004) DLW method
Energy deposition during growth = weight gain (g/d) x energy deposited

ENERGY
A reduction of 4-8 % of energy (100kcal, 145 for moderate
and 310 kcal for heavy work per day) has been
recommended on account of a lower physical activity
level in men. In women the requirement remains similar
on account of a higher reference body weight.
Current estimate of energy requirement for infants is
lower by 11- 20% than the 1988 estimate.
Committee considered the requirement for children at
different physical activity levels at different ages.
13-17 years there is an increase in requirements based
on a higher physical activity level of Indian children ofthat age group.
11
BMR of Indians is about 5% lower
compared to the BMR of developed
countries (Shetty et al, 1986)

PROTEIN
Safe level of protein intake= Maintenance requirements(from N balance
studies) + growth (equation adapted from FAO/WHO 2007)+ 2 SD.

RDA: Basis for requirements
13
PROTEIN
Given that surveys such as the NFHS and NNMB have
reported pre-pregnancy weight of 47 kg, and GWG of
only 8 kg, it is worth recording that the additional high
quality protein requirement in such a pregnant woman
gaining 8 kg during pregnancy, is 0.4, 5.5 and 18.2
g/day.
It is important that the higher intake of protein
recommended during pregnancy should come from a
normal, varied diet, and not from commercial high-
protein supplements.

FAT
Minimum total fat intakes for adults:
15%E to ensure adequate consumption of total energy,
essential fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins for most
individuals.
20% E for women of reproductive age and adults with
BMI <18.5, especially in developing countries in whichdietary fat may be important to achieve adequate energy
intake in malnourished populations.
Maximum
Total fat intakes for adults: 30-35%E for most individuals.
Minimal intakes of visible fat in Indian adults range
between 20-40 g/p/day
To ensure optimal fat quality, the use of correct combination of
vegetable oils is recommended.

Fiber:
40 g/ 2000 kcal
Minerals:
Minerals like zinc, selenium and iodine has been included as
separate chapters in the new document.
Calcium and Phosphorous:
Current level of calcium consumption is reported to be
providing less than 400 mg Ca/d/Cu. The present
Committee, in view of the evidences, made upward
revision of calcium requirements for adults (600mg/d).
During pregnancy and lactation the requirement is further
enhanced to 1200 mg.
Elemental Ca:P ratio of 1:1 is maintained.
18
Recent studies: The mean fractional absorption in iron-
deficient subjects was 17.5% and in normal women 7.3%
These values are greater than absorption values (5%)
used earlier for calculating iron RDA of for adult women.
Considering the fact that iron absorption is inverselyrelated to body iron stores and that Indians have reduced
iron stores compared to their peers in developed
countries, a realistic estimate of iron absorption would be
5% for adult male and 8% for adult female.
These figures are in agreement with the
recommendations of WHO/FAO, lists three bio-availability
levels of 5, 10, and 15%.
19
IRON-Basis
International recommendations are 2-3 times lower
than the Indian RDA.
Higher bioavailability of iron attributable to increased
ascorbic acid content and heme iron consumption.
This magnitude of difference in RDA in itself is cause
for concern as physiological requirements for the
different age/sex categories do not vary to this extent
across populations.
This implies that enhancing bioavailability rather than
density or content is of paramount importance for
addressing iron requirement for Indians.
20
Magnesium:
Recommended 340 mg of dietary Mg
Zinc:
For adult man and NPNL woman for zinc is set at 12 and 10 mg/dayrespectively recommendations for all physiological groups for zinc has been
added.
Selenium:
40 µg/day
Iodine:
150µg/day is retained
Iron:iron has been reduced significantly among all physiological groups. To
achieve this, the committee recommended that the density of ascorbic acid
should be atleast 20mg/ 1000 kcal.
Absorption earlier 2 - 5%, Now 5 - 8%
Sodium & Potassium:
A safe intake of 2500 mg/day which amounts to 5g/day of salt, desirable
sodium : potassium ratio in the diet was fixed at 1:1 (in mmol).
1 g Nacl contain 39% Na++
21
WATER SOLUBLE VITAMINS:
Folate:
• Allowance of folic acid is given in terms of dietary folate
rather than free folic acid.
• Committee retains the 75 ug physiological requirement of
folic acid which can be obtained from 200ug of dietary folate
per day.
Vitamin B12:
The present ICMR Committee retains the earlier recommendation of
1µg/day.
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C):
Decided to retain the earlier recommendations of RDA for ascorbic
acid for all age groups except for pregnancy where an additional
20mg/day is recommended for meeting extra needs of foetal
growth.
22
FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS:
Vitamin A:
• The present Committee modified the extent of conversion
efficiency of 1:4 to 1:8.
• Upward revision of retinol to 800 µg is recommended during
pregnancy.
• Committee recommends that a minimum of 50% RE be drawn
from animal sources.
Vitamin D:
• Committee retains the earlier recommendations on vitamin D
considering outdoor physical activity as a means of achieving
adequate vitamin D status,
• Under situations of minimal exposure to sunlight, a specific
recommendation of a daily supplement of 400 IU (10 µg) is retained.
23
FAT SOLUBLE VITAMINS:
Vitamin E:
• Requirement of alpha tocopherol suggested is 0.8 mg/ g of
dietary essential fatty acids. This roughly works out to
8-10 mg tocopherol /d, depending on the edible oil used.
• 55 μg of vitamin K /d for adults
Antioxidants:
Recommended 400g/day of fruits and vegetables to.
