I know that Huel contains a good amount of the amino acids that you need, but is there known level of tryptophan, specifically? I am trying to maximize the amount of tryptophan in my diet (I’m taking a tryptophan supplement currently, but I am planning to stop supplementation and would like to get all of my needed tryptophan from diet) and would like to know roughly how much I’m getting from a Huel meal (shakes and Hot and Savory).
