Default RDA Recommended Daily Allowances

Okay, I was always wondering what the recommended daily allowances are, here is a site to help:

Now I am not a nutritionist, but these seem reasonable and balanced.

Total Fat: <65g
Saturated Fat: <20g
Cholestoral: 300mg
Carbohydrates: <300g
Fiber: 25g
Sodium: 2400mg
Potassium: 3500mg
Protein: 50g

Healthy Weight Loss Diet
Calories: 1500
Total Fat: <48.75g
Saturated Fat: <15g
Cholestoral: 225mg
Carbohydrates: <225g
Fiber: 18.75g
Sodium: 1800mg
Potassium: 2625mg
