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/day13.0G13.0G26%
- 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/day2.10G2.10G3%
- 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/day20.7G20.7G8%
- 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/day52.5G52.5G175%
Carbohydrates
- Sugars SugarsNaturally-occurring + added sugars combined (mono- and disaccharides).UK adult RI: 90 G/day9.30G9.30G10%
Fats and Fatty Acids
Vitamins
- Vitamin C Vitamin CWater-soluble antioxidant + cofactor in collagen synthesis. Lost easily in cooking water and air exposure.UK adult RI: 80 MG/day0.05MG0.05MG0%
- 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/daytraceUGtraceUG0%
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/day0.02MG0.02MG0%
- Sodium SodiumMineral mostly consumed as salt (sodium chloride). Excess raises blood pressure in salt-sensitive people.UK adult RI: 2,400 MG/day8.00MG8.00MG0%
- 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%
