Nutrient Reference Values and Australian Dietary Guidelines

  

(Australian Government department of Ageing, 2013, p.9)

The Australian Dietary Guidelines (2013) provide advice on the amounts and types of foods that should be consumed for health and wellbeing. They are based on the best available scientific evidence and apply to all healthy Australians, as well as those with common health conditions such as being overweight. (Nutrition Australia, 2013)

The NRVs (nutrient reference values) are a set of recommendations for nutritional intake based on currently available scientific knowledge. (Commonwealth of Australian, 2014)

The Dietary Guidelines and Reference values are not effected by the diet. These values and guidelines should be seen my the dieters so that they are able to follow them when in their 5 days of normal eating.
