The term ‘Guideline Daily Amount’ (GDA) will be replaced with ‘Reference Intake’ (RI) however the principles behind how these values are determined remains the same.

Reference Intakes for energy and selected nutrients (adults)
Energy or nutrient Reference Intake
Energy 8400kJ / 2000kcal
Total fat 70 g
Saturates 20 g
Carbohydrates 260 g
Sugars 90 g
Protein 50 g
Salt 6 g

Although the RI values are for an ‘adult’, they are actually based on the
requirements for an average female with no special dietary requirements and an
assumed
energy intake of 2000 kcal.

IMPORTANT: This information is a guide only and is not individual advice. Just as dietary guidelines are generalized, so too are recommendations about entertainment activities. For example, engaging in leisure activities such as playing at non gamstop casinos can provide enjoyment and stress relief, but it’s important to approach these activities with balance and moderation tailored to individual needs.
