A serving of food that has 10% to 19% of a nutrient based on a 2000 calorie diet is considered to have a good nutritional value.

Further Explanation:

The number of macronutrients present in the food determine the nutritional value of the food. The macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, salt etc.

The body of the human performs different metabolic functions of the body which requires energy. the energy required by the body to perform the metabolic function comes from the food that we eat. The amount of calorie intake depends on the food that a person takes and the amount of food that he takes. An average of about 2000 calories is necessary to maintain the weight of an individual. This average varies from people to people with respect to gender and age. The amount of physical activity that is performed by a person also determine the amount of calorie intake necessary for the person. The person who performs vigorous exercises require more calories than the person who does not. A typical diet of an individual must include all the macronutrients as well as the micronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.

A food serving which has almost 10 to 19 percent of the nutrients based on a 2000 calorie diet is considered to be of a good nutritional value. The nutrient quantity ranging from 20% to more is considered to be excellent diet and the nutritional value which is lessthan 5% represents the poor diet.
