Do different nutrients scale with calorie intake?

249 views

As in, if my daily calorie intake is 2,500 instead of 2,000, would 2,300mg of sodium still be 100% daily value for me or would it be more?

Sorry if this is a simple question and thanks in advance.

Going by weight instead is easier. You need about 7g of micros per day^1. Thats about one spoonful of something. So the bulk of what we need by weight is always kcal, not micros.

You’ll pee out the rest, as while food marketing will often say ‘nutrient dense’ having a house ‘rich with refrigerators’ is pointless past the first. And we can store heaps of micros.
