Codrin...You Eat Alot of Carrots

Codrin consumes about 200 baby carrots per day. According to the nutrition data website 15 grams of baby carrots will give you 41% of your daily recommended dose of vitamin A, 1% vitamin C, 2% dietary fiber, 1 gram of sugar and all with just five calories. 15 grams is about the weight of one baby carrot

So if all of the above is accurate then Codrin gets 200%(twice the amount) of his daily recommended dose of vitamin C, 400%(four times the amount) of daily recommended fiber, 200 grams of sugar and 8200%(82 times the amount) of daily recommended dose of vitamin A. All that within 1000 calories (that's half the amount of calories an average person consumes in one day).

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin required for vision, growth, reproduction, cell growth and differentiation, and a healthy immune system. Sounds pretty good to me. But the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin A for men over 18 is 900 mcg [micrograms](3000 IU) and for women it's 700 mcg (2,310 IU). Excessive vitamin A intake is associated with an increased risk of fracture due to low bone density.

Too much of a very good thing. I'd say cut down from 200 to about 50-100 per day before you get type 2 diabetes and you break your hip trying to stand...oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure you don't want to look like these guys.
