DRV, Dietary Reference Value (a term used to cover all intakes, including RNI and EAR); RNI, Reference Nutrient Intake (appropriate for 97 % of the population); EAR, Estimated Average Requirement (appropriate for 50 % of the population); CHO, carbohydrate; NMES, non-milk extrinsic sugars.

Available recommendations for pregnancy have been used; otherwise recommendations for women are for the age group specified.
