Chart 14. One Pound of Bananas. 
(3 large.) 
One pound of bananas supplies about 280 calories of energy, 4 grams (about 
y 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 Pound 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
