I love these Q & A posts! Thank you so much for taking the time to do them! I can’t believe how much you pack into your role at work! That is so intense! I could not do the food services and managment stuff and so admire people who are good in those areas! You rock!

One question I have is around different intake requirements. I know the amount of calories and macro-nutrients that people need differs, but is this the same for the micro-nutrients? I am pretty small (152cms) so would my requirements for things like calcuim, iron ect be less than someone who was bigger? And also I know that for some of the nutrients men and woman have different requirements. When you see the % of your RDI’s listed on the packages of foods, does that refer to men or womens needs? Or is it an average of the two?

Thanks so much for your help!

Love your blog! =)

Libby

My husband actually needs to put on weight, so the last question really hit home for me. Having someone in the house who could stand to gain more than a few pounds can be difficult when I’m trying to lose weight. It’s frustrating sometimes!
