Actually, Dr. Fuhrman did base his nutrient scores on the USDA's RDI
(recommended daily intake - that's apparently the term they use
now).

You can follow this link to see a fuller explanation of his methodology
for arriving at the scores:

FYI: Meat and dairy lose some points for being devoid of the
important anti-oxidants found in plant foods.
