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 | 176% | 254 mg |
| Isoleucine | 144% | 390 mg |
| Leucine | 119% | 654 mg |
| Lysine | 146% | 630 mg |
| Methionine + cystinelowest ratio | 94% | 195 mg |
| Phenylalanine + tyrosine | 185% | 686 mg |
| Threonine | 143% | 323 mg |
| Tryptophan | 136% | 81 mg |
| Valine | 124% | 448 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 estimate8.5 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.
