Is there an RDI for each of these, or does anybody have advice to how I can figure it out based on my personal RDI? Thanks!

Start with making sure you eat lots of vegetables (French fries do not count), lean protein and healthy fats, and you can figure out the rest later. ~~~~~~~~~~ The first thing you lose on a diet is your sense of humor. ~ Author Unknown It doesn’t matter what diet you follow… What matters is what makes you follow your diet. ~ Tom Venuto

I ended up calculating just from the "recommended daily intake" amounts on the nutrition information, but I feel like I'm being encouraged to eat too many carbs with that!
