The DRVs for the energy‐producing nutrients are based on the percentage of the calories consumed per day with 2,000 calories established as the daily intake reference. DRVs for the energy‐producing nutrients are calculated as follows:

 Fat based on 30 percent of calories.

 Saturated fat based on 10 percent of calories.

 Carbohydrate based on 60 percent of calories.

 Protein based on 10 percent of calories.

 Fiber based on 11.5 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories.

The DRVs for the macronutrients are based on public health recommendations, representing the uppermost limit that is considered desirable. The DRVs for total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium are:

 total fat: less than 78 grams

 saturated fat: less than 20 grams

 cholesterol: less than 300 mg

 sodium: less than 2,300 mg
