One pound of eggs supplies about 595 calories of energy, 54 grams (about 

 2 ounces) of protein, 0.3 gram of calcium, 0.7 gram of phosphorus, and 12 

 milligrams of iron. It would furnish, therefore, 17 per cent of the energy a man 

 needs daily, 54 per cent of the protein, 39 per cent of the calcium, 55 per cent 

 of the phosphorus, and 82 per cent of the iron. This is shown in the following
