Nutritionally recommended food for semi- to strict vegetarian diets based on large-scale nutrient composition data [PDF]
Scientific Reports 8:4344 (2018), 2018 Diet design for vegetarian health is challenging due to the limited food repertoire of vegetarians. This challenge can be partially overcome by quantitative, data-driven approaches that utilise massive nutritional information collected for many different foods. Based on large-scale data of foods' nutrient compositions, the recent concept of nutritional
