Abstract:
Nitrogen requirement in phenylketonuria patients is similar to that of normal persons. Prescribed protein intake for patients should be based on age-related safe levels of protein intake modified by the digestibility-corrected amino acid score. Adequate energy intakes and distribution of dietary protein over meals are important determinants for the quality of dietary treatment.
