  • Hi Scarlet_Fever12,

    For most nutrient targets, hitting 100% means you are achieving the recommended dietary allowance (RDA). The RDA is the amount of a nutrient that researchers and policy makers think is enough to prevent deficiency symptoms and keep you healthy. Some nutrients also have a tolerable upper limit, above which there is a risk of toxicity symptoms. In general, you want to aim for 100% of your minimum target and stay below the maximum target, if there is one.

    Best,
