      In just a day? Not much. Your body does store stuff it needs for days when it does not get the proper nutrition.

        Thank you Colleen for providing the answer.
        It appears that if I consume more than RDA of a nutrient it is stored . But if I again eat the same nutrient more than the RDA value the body excretes it?

        Yes, the body will just discrete it depending on what it is. Some vitamins however can over store themselves causing an overdoes. So be careful how you eat. Read here to know which vitamins > http://www.livestrong.com/article/421379-can-you-overdose-on-vitamins/
