Using the RDA tool, (http://www.hpb.gov.sg/HOPPortal/health-article/2652), I found out that my sister is tall and heavy for her age even though her weight is at an acceptable range. She is 11 years old but she is at the height of a 12-14 year old girl. So I decided to use RDA for the 12-14 year old girl. And also, she is at the weight of 14-16 year old girl but since the 12 year old is more closer to her age, I decided on using the RDA for the 12-14 year old girl.
My sister is allowed to ear 1.8 mcg of Vitamin B12, 1.0 mg of Vitamin B6, 65 mg of Ascorbic Acid, 300 mcg of Folic Acid and 1000 mg of calcium. Also, she does light physical activity so she needs 2150 energy per day.
