Hello there, Im just wondering. When i check nutrients, it says Vitamin A and C and tells me my goal but in percentages. I commonly go over the % for both after eating like a carrot and a glass of orange juice. How much mg or UI is this app's 100%?

    Assuming the entries you are using are from U.S. food labels, 100% of vitamin A is 5000 IUs and 100% of vitamin C is 60 mg.
