General guidelines in medicine and nutrition are not intended for every individual under all conditions. For example, the Recommended Dietary Allowance for nutrient intake is set to meet or exceed the needs of the average healthy person in a specific age and gender group, consuming foods typical of the general population. The nutrient needs of an individual with a health problem or who consumes an atypical diet may be entirely different.
