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/day10.0G10.0G20%
- 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/day1.50G1.50G2%
- 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/day4.20G4.20G2%
Carbohydrates
- Sugars SugarsNaturally-occurring + added sugars combined (mono- and disaccharides).UK adult RI: 90 G/day3.80G3.80G4%

Vitamins
- 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 UG/daytraceUGtraceUG0%
- 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 K Vitamin KFat-soluble vitamin essential for blood clotting and bone metabolism. Concentrated in dark leafy greens.UK adult RI: 75 UG/daytraceUGtraceUG0%
Minerals
- Calcium CalciumMajor mineral for bone density, muscle contraction, and nerve signalling.UK adult RI: 800 MG/day0.06MG0.06MG0%
- 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/daytraceMGtraceMG0%
- Phosphorus PhosphorusMajor mineral for bones, energy storage (ATP), and cell membranes. Widespread in protein-rich foods.UK adult RI: 700 MG/day0.13MG0.13MG0%
- Potassium PotassiumElectrolyte mineral that counters sodium's effect on blood pressure. Concentrated in fruit, vegetables, beans, and dairy.UK adult RI: 2,000 MG/day0.09MG0.09MG0%
- Sodium SodiumMineral mostly consumed as salt (sodium chloride). Excess raises blood pressure in salt-sensitive people.UK adult RI: 2,400 MG/day275MG275MG11%
- 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%
