The following tables[11] are exceptionally valuable in compiling diets in various combinations. One can readily determine the number of grams in various servings of different foods. For example: a small serving of beef (round), containing some fat, weighs 36 grams; 40 per cent., 14.4 grams, is protein, and 60 per cent., 21.6 grams, is fat (no carbohydrates). One ordinary thick slice of white, home-made bread weighs 38 grams; 13 per cent., 4.94 grams, is protein; 6 per cent., 2.28 grams, is fat, and 81 per cent., 30.78 grams, is carbohydrate. The proportion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats required by the average individual as suggested on page 208 can be readily made up from various combinations of foods. Each individual may ascertain whether he is taking too much food, or too large a proportion of proteins or of carbohydrates or fats.
