PROPORTIONS OF NUTRIENTS IN THE DIET. 



As previously stated, no attempt was made to secure either high 

 or low protein in the diet, the adjustment being made wholly upon the 

 caloric content. The lowering of the energy automatically resulted 

 in a lowering of the protein. The actual protein intake can be obtained 

 for practically any day for any one of the subjects by multiplying the 

 nitrogen in the food (see tables 46 to 70) by the standard factor 6.25. 

 It was impossible to complicate the entire research by an attempt to 

 apportion the non-protein energy between fat and carbohydrate.
