UNDERSTAND THE DATA
What it means for your diet
The exact USDA entry here is Energy. The source below gives general nutrition context only; it does not establish a deficiency syndrome, benefit, supplement dose or safe upper limit for this individual measurement. Energy methods, organic acids and other analytical components must not be treated as interchangeable nutrients.
Ranking amounts describe foods, not supplement doses. A high rank does not mean you should consume more. Source recommendations and cautions retain their original population and scope.
