Is ham high in purines?
In short: Smart Gout Care estimates ≈ 100 mg of purines in a typical 80 g serving of ham (≈ 130 mg per 100 g), with ≈ 1 g of added sugar. That is more purines per 100 g than 93% of the 2,045 dishes in the app, and the app rates a serving Moderate load.
| Typical serving | 80 g |
|---|---|
| Purines per serving | ≈ 100 mg |

About ham
Cured pork; moderately high in purines, with small sugar from the cure.
What about smaller or larger portions?
In the app you can set the portion to small, medium or large. The purine estimate scales with the weight:
| Portion | Weight | Purines |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 64 g | ≈ 85 mg |
| Medium (typical) | 80 g | ≈ 100 mg |
| Large | 104 g | ≈ 140 mg |
What does the load badge mean?
The badge compares one typical portion with the daily reference amounts set in the app. A portion is estimated to use a third to two thirds of a day's purine or added-sugar reference. It is a rough guide to the size of a portion's share, not a rule about what to eat.
Where do these numbers come from?
These are Smart Gout Care's own estimates for a typical serving of Ham, the same figures the app shows for this dish. They are rounded on purpose: published laboratory tables often disagree for the same food, sometimes by two times or more, depending on the sample, the species and the method. For measured values and their sources, see Purines in Meat and Offal: Chicken, Red Meat, Liver, Ham.
