Recommendations for protein and amino acid intake in phenylketonuria patients.
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.
