One pound of American cheese supplies about 1,995 calories of energy, 131 
grams (about 4 J ounces) of protein, 4.2 grams of calcium, 3.1 grams of phos- 
phorus, and nearly 6 milligrams of iron. It would furnish, therefore, 57 per 
cent of the energy a man needs daily, 131 per cent of the protein, 621 per cent 
of the calcium, 235 per cent of the phosphorus, and 39 per cent of the iron.

Chart 23. One Pound of Eggs. 
(8 to 10 medium-sized.) 
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
