recommended nutrient intakes, RNI


Explanation:
I've already come across this problem - there are loads of different expressions and abreviations used - I plumped for this one, as it seems to be used by the WHO, FAO. Just to make sure that we're talking about the same context, these refer to public health guidelines.
There's a bit of discussion on what the various terms mean at this reference:

To confuse things further, RNI is very often referred to as "reference nutrient intakes" too
