What it feeds
None of the nutrients PeakPie scores reach 1% of a day’s target in this portion. That is not a verdict on the food, only on what this portion adds to the eleven systems.
The score is what this one portion would do for the organ on an otherwise empty day, against PeakPie’s daily targets for an adult aged 19 to 50 (protein at 70 kg). Your own targets in the app follow your age, sex, weight and activity.
