On this limited dietary of raw, uncooked food, with a complete absence of the high-proteid animal foods, and the ordinary vegetables, legumes, etc., and without eggs or milk, this family, with three growing children, had lived all these years. Note now what Jaffa observed regarding their food consumption. The first subject, a woman 33 years of age and weighing 90 pounds, was studied for twenty consecutive days, all the food eaten being carefully weighed and its chemical composition determined. As a result, it was found that the average amount of food consumed per day was: proteid, 33 grams; fat, 59 grams; carbohydrate, 150 grams; with a total fuel value of 1300 calories. The other members of the family were studied in a similar manner, one of the children being the subject on two separate occasions. The table (on page 217), showing the average daily food consumption, gives a summary of the results obtained. +--------------------------------+--------+-----+------+--------+--------+ | | | | | |Proteid | | | | |Carbo-| Fuel |per Kilo| | |Proteid.|Fat. | hyd- | Value. | Body- | | | | | rate.| |weight. | +--------------------------------+--------+-----+------+--------+--------+ | | grams |grams|grams |calories| grams | |Woman, 33 years old, | | | | | | | Weight 90 lbs.
