Host: Can you explain what Percentage of daily value means?
Tracee Yablon-Brenner: Percentage of daily value is based on a 2000 calorie diet which really varies because although adults and women tend to need less than that, athletes tend to need more. It also has the amount on the bottom if there is a footnote on the bottom of the label with the amount of fiber, calcium and fat that s needed in a diet. It's usually on large food labels.
