Guideline Daily Amounts

The Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) are just that - a guide to how many calories and nutrients we should be getting each day.

It's important to remember that they are just guidelines and not targets.

In particular, you should try not to exceed the amounts given for sugars, fat, saturates and salt.

GDAs are designed for people of a healthy weight and level of activity.

If you have specific concerns about your weight or diet you should see your doctor.
