The diet of this subject is noteworthy in several respects. During 

 the three weeks of period 1 he lived on a ration which cost about 22 

 cents per day and supplied the remarkably small total of 42.8 grams 

 of digestible protein and 1,804 calories of available energy. He ate 

 no meat except that which was served with the combination meals, of 

 which there were only three during the entire period. Except for 

 butter and milk, which supplied about 25 per cent of the total protein 

 and 14 per cent of the total energy, he was practically a vegetarian, 

 depending on breads and cereals for about 59 per cent of the total pro- 

 tein and on bread, cereals, and sugar for 70.5 per cent of the total 

 energy obtained. Two pages from his book will give an idea of the 

 character of the diet which he selected, though, as will be observed 

 from the table above, the total number of combination meals was very 



small.
