Amino Acid Profile Calculator
Analyse the essential amino acid profile of your food. Compare protein quality, evaluate completeness, and optimise your nutrition.
Step 1: Food & Serving
Understanding amino acid profile
Essential amino acids must come from food. This tool shows you the amount per serving and compares them to reference requirements (mg per day).
Step 2: Profile Settings
About essential amino acids
Nine amino acids are essential: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine.

About the calculation
Essential Amino Acids (mg) = (serving/100) × (mg per 100g) × (digestibility/100)
Values based on USDA and food composition databases. Amino acid score compares the limiting essential amino acid to reference pattern (FAO/WHO).
