We here consider the following two personalised cases: 61-year-old male (case I) and 58-year-old female (case II), who practise a plant-based, methionine-restricted diet, and consume a limited amount of animal products. Cases I and II are different in their physical conditions and specific food intakes, as described in the main text. In each food category, we show only the foods that have NF > 0.7 in either case I or II. For each food, we specify the case I or II that gives NF > 0.7 (I, case I; II, case II; the specific value of NF is presented in parentheses beside each case).
