RDA: it's the food quantaties that are recommended for general as a guide to know if they take enough amount of food per day or no.
DRI: ummm the exact amount of food that should a person takes daily.

RDA is Recommended Daily Allowance and DRI is Dietary Refence intake which can either be RDA or even AI(Adequate intake).
