analysis of samples of the material used in these studies or were obtained 

 by calculation from published analyses of similar food materials, with 

 or without occasional supplementary analyses by the author. The figures 

 in the following columns represent the daily intake per man (if in italics, 

 per woman) of protein, fat, and carbohydrate. Then follow the total 

 energy intake, the fractions of this contributed by protein and by fat, 

 the contributions to total protein and total energy content made by the 

 different classes of food materials and other data that appeared to be 

 of interest. 



Some of the figures have been taken from the original publications, 

 some have been obtained through other authors, as indicated, and some 

 have been calculated by the writer. Many of the publications cited contain 

 data that permit of calculations to fill many of the vacant spaces in the 

 table but the labor of such calculations is onerous, and seems to be out of 

 proportion to the value of the results to be expected. 



From the material presented in .previous chapters, it is evident that the 

 food consumed must supply energy for the following demands: 1. the 

 basal metabolism, 2. the increase in metabolism due to the ingestion of 

 food, 3. the increase ia metabolism due to muscular work, 4, the maiate-
