GFD, general food distribution; LNS, lipid‐based nutrient supplement; DFE, dietary folate equivalents; RAE, retinol activity equivalents. *Because there is not a recommended absolute amount of fat for pregnant and lactating women, the per cent of energy from fat is displayed in the ‘% daily intake column’. For this physiologic group, the per cent of energy from fat is recommended to be between 20 and 35% of energy (Institute of Medicine). †The total amount of iron in the diet is presented as well as the estimated amount of iron absorbed from the diet (based on the calculated bioavailability). The per cent of the daily recommended intake is calculated based on the amount of absorbed iron. ‡The total amount of zinc in the diet is presented as well as the estimated amount of zinc absorbed from the diet (based on the calculated bioavailability). The per cent of the daily recommended intake is calculated based on the amount of absorbed zinc.
