Proximates
- Protein ProteinBuilds and repairs tissue, drives enzymes and hormones. Made up of amino acids, nine of which the body can't make itself.UK adult RI: 50 g/day33.3g33.3g67%
- Fat FatAll fats combined: saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and trans. Carries fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and contributes 9 kcal per gram.UK adult RI: 70 g/day6.67g6.67g10%
- Carbohydrate CarbohydrateAll carbohydrate combined: sugars, starches, and fiber. Calculated by subtracting water + protein + fat + ash from the food's total mass, hence "by difference".UK adult RI: 260 g/day44.0g44.0g17%
- Fiber FiberPlant carbohydrate the body can't digest. Feeds gut bacteria, slows sugar absorption, and supports regular digestion. UK adults: target 30 g/day.UK adult RI: 30 g/day13.3g13.3g44%

Vitamins
- Vitamin C Vitamin CWater-soluble antioxidant + cofactor in collagen synthesis. Lost easily in cooking water and air exposure.UK adult RI: 80 mg/day0.12mg0.12mg0%
- Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid)Water-soluble B-vitamin involved in coenzyme A, essential for energy metabolism and the synthesis of hormones, cholesterol, and red blood cells.UK adult RI: 6 mg/daytracemgtracemg0%
- Vitamin A Vitamin AFat-soluble vitamin for vision, immune function, and skin. Measured in retinol activity equivalents (RAE) so plant and animal sources are comparable.UK adult RI: 800 µg/daytraceµgtraceµg0%
- Vitamin E Vitamin EFat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage. Nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils are the densest sources.UK adult RI: 12 mg/daytracemgtracemg0%
- Vitamin D Vitamin DFat-soluble vitamin essential for calcium absorption and bone health. The skin also synthesises it from sunlight, so dietary intake matters most over winter.UK adult RI: 5 µg/daytraceµgtraceµg0%
- Vitamin K Vitamin KFat-soluble vitamin essential for blood clotting and bone metabolism. Concentrated in dark leafy greens.UK adult RI: 75 µg/daytraceµgtraceµg0%
Minerals
- Calcium CalciumMajor mineral for bone density, muscle contraction, and nerve signalling.UK adult RI: 800 mg/day0.43mg0.43mg0%
- Iron IronCarries oxygen in haemoglobin. Plant (non-heme) iron absorbs less efficiently than meat (heme) iron, pair with vitamin C to boost absorption.UK adult RI: 14 mg/daytracemgtracemg0%
- Magnesium MagnesiumCofactor in 300+ enzyme reactions, energy metabolism, muscle relaxation, blood pressure regulation.UK adult RI: 375 mg/day0.28mg0.28mg0%
- Phosphorus PhosphorusMajor mineral for bones, energy storage (ATP), and cell membranes. Widespread in protein-rich foods.UK adult RI: 700 mg/day0.73mg0.73mg0%
- Potassium PotassiumElectrolyte mineral that counters sodium's effect on blood pressure. Concentrated in fruit, vegetables, beans, and dairy.UK adult RI: 2,000 mg/day1.57mg1.57mg0%
- Sodium SodiumMineral mostly consumed as salt (sodium chloride). Excess raises blood pressure in salt-sensitive people.UK adult RI: 2,400 mg/day767mg767mg32%
- Zinc ZincTrace mineral for immune function, wound healing, and sense of taste. Best absorbed from animal foods; phytates in grains reduce uptake.UK adult RI: 10 mg/daytracemgtracemg0%
- Copper CopperTrace mineral involved in iron metabolism and connective tissue.UK adult RI: 1 mg/daytracemgtracemg0%
- Manganese ManganeseTrace mineral for bone formation and antioxidant enzymes.UK adult RI: 2 mg/daytracemgtracemg0%
- Selenium SeleniumTrace mineral that supports thyroid hormone metabolism and antioxidant defence. Brazil nuts are the densest source.UK adult RI: 55 µg/daytraceµgtraceµg0%
