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/day5.20G5.20G10%
- 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/day31.0G31.0G44%
- Total carbohydrate Total 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/day41.1G41.1G16%
- 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/day2.95G2.95G10%

Fats and Fatty Acids
Vitamins
- Vitamin B1 (thiamin) Vitamin B1 (thiamin)Water-soluble B-vitamin for carbohydrate metabolism and nerve function. Whole grains, pork, and legumes are good sources.UK adult RI: 1.1 MG/day0.07MG0.07MG6%
- Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)Water-soluble B-vitamin for energy production, cell growth, and skin health. Dairy, eggs, and lean meat are densest.UK adult RI: 1.4 MG/day0.06MG0.06MG4%
- Vitamin B3 (niacin) Vitamin B3 (niacin)Water-soluble B-vitamin for energy metabolism. The body can also make some niacin from the amino acid tryptophan.UK adult RI: 16 MG/day0.55MG0.55MG3%
- Vitamin B6 Vitamin B6Water-soluble B-vitamin for amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis.UK adult RI: 1.4 MG/day0.04MG0.04MG3%
- 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 UG/day137UG137UG17%
- 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/day1.10MG1.10MG9%
Minerals
- Calcium CalciumMajor mineral for bone density, muscle contraction, and nerve signalling.UK adult RI: 800 MG/day33.0MG33.0MG4%
- 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/day0.40MG0.40MG3%
- Magnesium MagnesiumCofactor in 300+ enzyme reactions — energy metabolism, muscle relaxation, blood pressure regulation.UK adult RI: 375 MG/day12.0MG12.0MG3%
- Phosphorus PhosphorusMajor mineral for bones, energy storage (ATP), and cell membranes. Widespread in protein-rich foods.UK adult RI: 700 MG/day102MG102MG15%
- Potassium PotassiumElectrolyte mineral that counters sodium's effect on blood pressure. Concentrated in fruit, vegetables, beans, and dairy.UK adult RI: 2,000 MG/day119MG119MG6%
- Sodium SodiumMineral mostly consumed as salt (sodium chloride). Excess raises blood pressure in salt-sensitive people.UK adult RI: 2,400 MG/day395MG395MG16%
- 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/day0.84MG0.84MG8%
