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/day3.60G3.60G7%
- 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/day3.10G3.10G4%
- 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/day9.10G9.10G3%
- 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/day0.38G0.38G1%
Carbohydrates

Vitamins
- Vitamin C Vitamin CWater-soluble antioxidant + cofactor in collagen synthesis. Lost easily in cooking water and air exposure.UK adult RI: 80 MG/daytraceMGtraceMG0%
- 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/daytraceMGtraceMG0%
- 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/daytraceMGtraceMG0%
- 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/daytraceMGtraceMG0%
- 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 B6 Vitamin B6Water-soluble B-vitamin for amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis.UK adult RI: 1.4 MG/daytraceMGtraceMG0%
- Folate FolateWater-soluble B-vitamin essential for DNA synthesis and cell division. Critical pre-conception and in early pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects.UK adult RI: 200 UG/daytraceUGtraceUG0%
- 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/daytraceUGtraceUG0%
- 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 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/daytraceUGtraceUG0%
Minerals
- Calcium CalciumMajor mineral for bone density, muscle contraction, and nerve signalling.UK adult RI: 800 MG/day0.11MG0.11MG0%
- 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/day0.02MG0.02MG0%
- Phosphorus PhosphorusMajor mineral for bones, energy storage (ATP), and cell membranes. Widespread in protein-rich foods.UK adult RI: 700 MG/day0.09MG0.09MG0%
