! MYF.TBL: This file contains the FDA's RDI (Reference Daily Intake) values.
!          and measurement conversions. Its purpose is to inform the program
!          what reference numbers to use. It also contains multiplying values
!          for common measurements. You may change (update) the RDI's and
!          abbreviations for measurements. See below.
!
!          All lines starting with a "!" are ignored by the program.
!
! NOTE: RDI replaces the term "U.S. RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance)," which
!       was introduced in 1973 as a label reference value for vitamins,
!       minerals, and protein in voluntary nutrition labeling. The name was
!       changed to avoid confusion with the Recommended Dietary Allowances
!       (RDA) from the Nation Research Council. The values for the new RDI's
!       are the same as the old U.S. RDA's. The values may change after Dec.
!       31, 1993, when the FDA plans to propose new values. This is shown on
!       the label as % Daily Value. Daily Values (DV) consist of two sets
!       of dietary standards, Daily Reference Values (DRV's) and Reference
!       Daily Intakes (RDI's). DRV's were introduced to help the consumer to
!       track a few of the macronutrients. See the file LABEL.LAW for more
!       information regarding Daily Values.
!
! WARNING: Do not add or rearrange lines between Vitamin A and END of RDI.
!       If a value needs to be updated, change only the numbers. Infant values
!       must be in column 20-29, child 30-39, adult 40-49, and Pregnant 50-59.
!                  INFANT    CHILD     ADULT    PREGNANT or LACTATING WOMEN

! CONVERSION VALUES:
!          This next section lists the commonly used conversion multipliers,
!          like how many cups in a quart, etc. It does not contain volume to
!          weight conversions. Those are ingredient specific and are contained
!          in the ingredient file for each ingredient. If a value is not
!          found, the program gives you the option to add to this table
!          automatically.
!
!          The values here probably never need changing, but you may want
!          to change measurement names. If you prefer C. instead of cup,
!          then change all the "cup"s here, and in the PLAN, MEAL, RECIPE
!          and INGREDIENT Files. Upper and lowercase letters are treated
!          as the same. Caution: Fluid oz. and weight oz. are easily confused.
!
!  Follow the format in the file and remember:
!          1) Multiplier can be a maximum of 4 characters including decimal
!             point. Multiplier must be larger than 1. The program will
!             reverse values automatically for big to small. Put the small
!             measurement first. Measurements can be a maximum of 3 characters.
!          2) Any line beginning with a ! is a comment line and not processed.
!          3) 100 values (non commented lines) are allowed.
!
! Measurements are grouped for clarity, grouping is not required.
