Wai,
when I submitted my food to the calculator, I saw there was 0 grams of vitamin H. How can I get the required amount of it, what foods should I eat?
Thank you

Vitamin H = biotin
If your diet lacks biotin, you should add foods to your diet that do contain biotin.
Foods that contain the most biotin are:
Egg yolk, avocado, salmon, bananas, apples, mackerel and strawberries

hmmm, now that you mention it, the USDA has no vitamin H contents listed for egg yolks, so when you submit your diet to the nutrient calculator, you should chose the option
"Chicken Egg yolk (Gallus domesticus), raw, [2]".
instead of:
"Chicken Egg yolk (Gallus domesticus), raw, [1]"

(1= USDA, 2= Souci et al)
