Note. — Should you desire to add further items to the preceding table, obtain 

 Experiment Station Bulletin 28, The Chemical Composition of American Food 

 Materials, by Atwater and Bryant. (Send 10 cents in coin to Superintendent of 

 Documents, Washington, D.C.) The weight in ounces of a standard portion equals 

 1600 divided by number of Calories per pound given in table. The Calories fur- 

 nished by protein equal the percentage of protein given in the Bulletin table mul- 

 tiplied by 1860 and divided by the number of Calories per pound. The same cal- 

 culation and factor applies to carbohydrates. For fat, calculate the same way, 

 but use the factor 4220 in place of 1860. Verify the three results by adding to see 

 if they equal 100 Calories.
