The grand totals for the day, with this dietary, amount to 58.07 grams of proteid and 2729 calories. It is of course understood that these figures are to be considered as only approximately correct, but the illustration will suffice, perhaps, to give a clearer understanding of the actual quantities of food involved in a daily ration approaching the requirements for a man of 70 kilograms body-weight. Further, there may be suggested by the figures given for proteid and fuel value of the different quantities of foods, a clearer conception of how much given dietary articles count for in swelling the total values of a day’s intake. Moreover, it is easy to see how the diet can be added to or modified in a given direction. If a little more proteid is desired without changing materially the fuel value of the food a boiled egg can be added to the breakfast, for example. An average-sized egg (of 53 grams) contains 6.9 grams of proteid, while it will increase the fuel value of the food by only 80 calories. Or, if more vegetable proteid is wished for, a soup of split-peas can be introduced, without changing in any degree the calorific value of the diet. Thus, one teacup of split-pea soup (144 grams) contains 8.64 grams of proteid, while the fuel value of this quantity may be only 94 calories. The addition of one banana (160 grams) will increase fuel value 153 calories, but will add only 2.28 grams of proteid. If it is desired to increase fuel value without change in the proteid-content of the food, recourse can always be had to butter, fat of meat, additional oil in salads, or to syrup and sugar. Such a menu as is roughly outlined, however, has perhaps special value in emphasizing how largely the proteid intake is increased by foods other than meats, and which are not conspicuously rich in proteid matter. All wheat products, for example, while abounding in starch, still show a large proportion of proteid. Thus, shredded wheat biscuit (1 ounce), which is a type of many kindred wheat preparations, from bread and biscuit to the various so-called breakfast foods, yields about 3 grams of proteid per ounce and approximately 100 calories. Even potato, which is conspicuously a carbohydrate food owing to its large content of starch, yields of nitrogen the equivalent of at least three-fourths of a gram of proteid per ounce. If larger volume is desired without much increase in real food value, there are always available green foods, such as lettuce, celery, greens of various sorts, fruits, such as apples, grapes, oranges, etc. Too great reliance on meats as a type of concentrated food, on the other hand, augments largely the intake of proteid, and adds a relatively small amount to the fuel value of the day’s ration.
