The building blocks of protein
│ Adult referenceNine pieces of the picture.
Each row compares the recorded amount with the adult pattern for this much protein. The line means the pattern is met, not 100% absorbed.
| Amino acid | Balance against the reference | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Histidine | 161% | 472 mg |
| Isoleucine | 163% | 896 mg |
| Leucine | 111% | 1,235 mg |
| Lysinelowest ratio | 98% | 862 mg |
| Methionine + cystine | 169% | 710 mg |
| Phenylalanine + tyrosine | 193% | 1,450 mg |
| Threonine | 168% | 766 mg |
| Tryptophan | 246% | 297 mg |
| Valine | 147% | 1,072 mg |
Bars share a 0–250% scale; arrows mark values beyond it. Sulfur and aromatic amino acids are scored together. See the method and reference.
Optional balance estimate18 g
Protein supported by amino-acid balance — estimated. This is capped at total protein. It is not absorbed protein, and any difference is not wasted protein.
