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/day1.50G1.50G3%
- 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/day0.20G0.20G0%
- 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/day0G0G0%
- 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/day12.3G12.3G41%

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/day0.01MG0.01MG1%
- 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/day0.47MG0.47MG34%
- 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/day0.60MG0.60MG4%
- 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/day0.18MG0.18MG3%
- Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12Water-soluble B-vitamin essential for red blood cell formation and the nervous system. Only found naturally in animal foods — vegans need fortified foods or supplements.UK adult RI: 2.5 UG/day0UG0UG0%
- 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 UG/day0UG0UG0%
