All the protein figures you have been using for the calculations have been crude protein, i.e. a estimate based on nitrogen content.

It's much better to use DIAAS as a measure of usable protein.

    Also a neat site. It seems like the ratio of usable protein would be a good addition to, but a lacking substitute for, the raw quantities. Especially given how incomplete the PCDAAS and DIAAS datasets are.
