We here consider four different diets, control, ovo-lacto vegetarian, vegan, and methionine-restricted diets. For the definition of these diets, refer to the main text. In each food category, we sort foods by their highest NFs among the four diets and list only the top 5 cases (in the protein-rich category, several milk products with similar highest NFs are listed together in the same row for visual clarity). Each of these foods has NF > 0.7 in at least one diet. For each food, we specify the diets that give NF > 0.7 (C, control; O, ovo-lacto vegetarian; V, vegan; M, methionine-restricted; the specific value of NF is presented in parentheses beside each diet).
