Food, in good company / An illustrative combination

Egg, potato & spinach

Adding vegetables changes fiber, energy and micronutrients. It can make a more varied plate without improving the already sufficient amino-acid score of eggs alone.

The building blocks of protein

Nine pieces of the picture.

│ Adult reference

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 acidBalance against the referenceAmount
Histidine138%393 mg
Isoleucine165%880 mg
Leucinelowest ratio126%1,365 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 estimate17.8 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.
