Daily calorie and nutrient needs
I know I have posted a link to Nutritiondata.com before, but it continues to impress me.
There is tool called the “Daily Needs Calculator”. Enter in your sex, age, height, weight, and daily level of activity, and it spits out your daily calorie needs, as well as your recommended nutrient minimums. If you are a woman, there is additional information for pregnancy and lactation requirements.
This is what it displayed for me:
When I clicked on Vitamin A, it took me to a list of foods that provide the most. (Broccoli, apparently.)

That’s an awesome resource.
