Chart 14. One Pound of Bananas. 

 (3 large.) 



One pound of bananas supplies about 280 calories of energy, 4 grams (about 

 ^ ounce) protein, 0.02 gram of calcium, 0.09 gram of phosphorus, and 1.8 

 milligrams of iron. It would furnish, therefore, 8 per cent of the energy 

 a man needs daily, 4 per cent of the protein, 4 per cent of the calcium, 7 

 per cent of the phosphorus, and 12 per cent of the iron. This is shown in the 

 following chart:

Chart 15. One Potjnd of Muskmelon. 

 (1 medium-sized.) 



One pound of muskmelon supplies about 105 calories of energy, 1 gram (an 

 almost negligible amount) of protein, 0.04 gram of calcium, 0.03 gram of phos- 

 phorus, and 0.9 milligram of iron. It would furnish, therefore, 3 per cent of 

 the energy a man needs daily, 1 per cent of the protein, 6 per cent of the 

 calcium, 3 per cent of the phosphorus, and 6 per cent of the iron. This is
