Table 35 of the Appendix gives the data regarding" the total amounts 

 of food provided, returned, eaten, and rejected. The following table 

 shows the calculated amounts of nutrients and energy per man per 

 day in the food eaten and rejected during this study: 



Table 27. — Nutrients and energy in food eaten and wasted in dietary study No. .'>S7. 



[Quantities per man per day.] 



The amount of food consumed supplied 128 grams of protein and 

 3,458 calories of energy per man per day, amounts corresponding to 

 the previously mentioned dietary standard for a man at moderately 

 active muscular work, such for instance as a carpenter or mason or 

 laborer working actively 10 hours per day. While these men were 

 out of doors much of the time and had considerable muscular exercise 

 it is very doubtful if their activity was equal to that called for bj^ the 

 standard quoted. However, thej^ were in general convalescing, or in 

 a condition which may be compared to it, and it is not unlikel}^ that 

 in such condition the demands of the body for nourishment may be 

 influenced by other than the ordinary factors. 



DIETARY STUDY NO. 388— MALE PAROLE PATIENTS. 



This study was made with 9 male patients occupying Maple w^ard, 

 and of a class similar to those included in dietary No. 387. Only 2 

 of these patients performed any regular work, but all of them took 

 some exercise each day. 



The study was made at the same time as No. 387, and the menu 

 served w-as the same. The total number of meals taken was 188, 

 equivalent to 1 man for 63 days. 



The data for the total amounts of food provided, returned, eaten, 

 and rejected are given in Table 35 of the Appendix. The following
