Do consumers need to adjust the % Daily Values depending on their own caloric intake or individual nutrient needs?
All consumers can use the % Daily Value as a general guide, whether they eat more or less than 2000 Calories each day, or even know how many Calories they consume. Only the Daily Values for carbohydrates, total fat, and saturated and trans fats are based on a 2000-Calorie diet. The recommendations for the other nutrients are not related to caloric intake, and therefore the Daily Values for these nutrients apply to most people, regardless of their caloric intake. The actual amounts (g/mg) may be used more by those with specific dietary needs.
