80/100
The score is the worst-supplied essential amino acid on the plate, discounted for how well plant protein actually digests. Nothing is weighted by hand.
0.94 lysine × 0.85 × 100 = 80
score = (lowest amino acid ÷ its reference requirement) × digestibility × 100
Nine essential amino acids exist. Six decide the score: leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, methionine and tryptophan. The other three are rarely the constraint in a plant diet, so they stay out of the number.
Cysteine spares methionine, so the two are scored as one sulfur pool, the way the reference pattern defines it. Score them apart and every legume gets punished for a shortfall the body does not have.
Whole plant foods absorb less completely than isolates, so the score is multiplied by 0.80 to 0.95 depending on the plate — an all-high-fibre meal takes the biggest cut. It is why a plate can clear every amino target and still land in the eighties.
Plates people actually eat, scored, each with the gap-closer the app returns for it.
150 g chickpeas · 150 g quinoa · 60 g spinach
+ 100 g tofu = 93
250 g chickpeas · 100 g tomato
+ 25 g pumpkin seeds = 83
250 g lentils · 100 g tomato
+ 100 g tofu = 86
150 g tempeh · 150 g brown rice
+ 100 g lentils = 83
Each fix is what the app’s recommender returns for that exact plate.
