so, i'm not going to spend too much time getting into the specifics of each amino acid, other than to provide some kind of guess at an rdi. broadly speaking, these are the building blocks that your body uses dna as the instruction set to synthesize proteins with. there's a lot of woo around dna, but this is what dna actually does, and the truth is that it doesn't actually do much else. so, there are 20 of these; each of them will produce many types of proteins, built out of different combinations of the different amino acids. it's really just not useful to get into it too much, other than to make sure you're getting enough. your body will deal with it, completely autonomously. you'd only ever need to know the details if somebody at a school were testing you, and, even then, it would really just be for the fuck of it - you can't do anything with all of this information. i mean, i'm glad it's written down somewhere, and stored in some computer system for reference, but you simply don't need this burned into your neurons...
that said, there are also a number of vitamin-like proteins (we have discussed a few already, like taurine and glutathione) that end up produced by amino acid synthesis and i should attempt to discuss each of them in turn, as they are often the primary purpose of consuming these amino acids.
these rdis are adopted from the highest option at the following site
i'm standardizing to 70 kg, which is more than i've ever weighed in my life. my range is more along the lines of 55-65 kg. 70/60 > 115%. so, by setting it to to 70 kg, i'm ensuring that i'm getting more than enough. as such, i don't feel the need to go over the limits too much.
so, the per meals will be 50% and the totals will be 150%, across the board.
expect a great big post with all of 'em that goes over all of the vitamin-like proteins, as well.
