What do you mean RDA for different foods? There's no RDA for "foods" but just macronutrients and vitamins and such.

You can check out the mypyramid site....it's by the government so pretty reliable.

Good luck!

actually the government is not that reliable, since the USDA is made upmostly  of the people that promote meat and dairy products (and the USDA tries its best to help the farmers of America), so their "recommendations" are not as unbiased as you'd think. i found the harvard one to be more accurate.
