Female adolescent, aged 14, height of 160-ish, around 162cm I think, weight 42kg (:
So, according to the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances), which is the recommended daily levels of nutrients needed for a female of my age group, this is what I need daily:
- Protein - 66g
- Iron - 18mg
- Vitamin A (retinol) equivalent - 725mcg
- Vitamin D - 2.5mcg
- Thiamin - 0.86mg
- Riboflavin - 1.29mg
- Niacin equivalent - 14.2mg
- Vitamin B12 - 2.0mcg
- Folic acid - 200mcg
- Ascorbic acid - 30mg
- Calcium - 1000mg
It also said on the website (http://hpb.gov.sg/foodforhealth/article.aspx?id=2652) that females of my age group are around 161cm tall and 52kg. Guess I'm falling short of that criteria ><
