{{pbr}}~ what about choline? may not be important overall for most people, or if it is then probably don't need the full 550mg/day {{x|which isn't a true RDA - choline has been less studied so they set the target higher than it may need to be, to be conservative. they set a large burden of proof for establishing that a lower intake won't lead to deficiency}}. Maybe some other nutrients in plants can enable the formation of choline without u getting that large intake? Because choline-deficient vegan diets have never been shown to be an issue as long as they provide all the other nutrients | {{pbr}}~ what about choline? may not be important overall for most people, or if it is then probably don't need the full 550mg/day {{x|which isn't a true RDA - choline has been less studied so they set the target higher than it may need to be, to be conservative. they set a large burden of proof for establishing that a lower intake won't lead to deficiency}}.

Protein and essential fats, ''on their own'', are only a small percent of the calories you need. {{talk|TODO: show maths}} The rest of the calories must be some combination of '''fats''' and '''carbs'''. The exact ratio doesn't matter as much as some people think - see below. | Protein and essential fats, ''on their own'', are only a small percent of the calories you need. {{talk|TODO: show maths}} The rest of the calories must be some combination of '''fats''' and '''carbs'''.
