So you bother about proteins and there quality ( First class or second class.) and bioavailability. Vitamins and minerals and essential Fatty acids in diet.

For both children and adults, the amount of fat that should be consumed each day depends on age, sex, height , weight or frame size and the amount of activity the individual gets each day.
