RDA’sThe US Department of Agriculture sets guidelines for labeling of foods and in educating our clients we use those guidelines to help establish one’s daily food intake.RDA, Recommended Dietary (or Daily) Allowance, has been replaced by RDI or Reference Daily Intake but because food labelers still use RDAs, we also use those guidelines for practical purposes.
Your daily calories were calculated based on your initial assessment data.This was your BMR number.If you completed the BMR worksheet you saw that daily calories are divided into Carbs, Proteins, and Fats.Using the USRDA we go one step further in helping you design a wholesome diet which includes foods in all groups including: Vegetables; Whole Grains; Lean Meats; Eggs; Dairy Products; Fruits; Nuts; and Healthy Fats.
Using the documents to the right, design your own custom menu which you can use to meet your RDAs while maintaining your personal BMR.
As long as we're talking about food, it's important to discuss WHERE our food comes from. At LDC Training we encourage you to read your food lables, better yet, we want you to be eating foods that don't even have labels. Think of fresh veggies and fruit, whole meats, dairy products, whole grains, etc.. Recently we were exposed to a valuable little documentary called, Food Inc. This is not your run of the mill animal rights film, but a look into where our food comes from. How many of us know the origin of our hamburger meat? where our eggs come from? do you know where your milk is produced? If you don't have a personal relationship with your local rancher, dairy farmer, or poultry rancher, then take a look at Food Inc. It will open your eyes and your mind and hopefully, make you more aware about what goes into your body through your mouth.
