Dietary study No. 360 continued for seven days in March, 1902, the 
total number of meals taken being twenty-one, or three per day. 
The subject weighed 169 pounds at the beginning and 169.5 pounds 
at the end of the test. It was not practicable to weigh him without 
clothing, but the same clothes were worn and the same scales used for 
both weighings.

The protein and energy furnished by the present diet are consider- 
ably below the tentative standard for a man with light to moderate 
muscular work, namely, 112 grams protein and 3,050 calories, but since 
the subject had the opportunity to eat all he wanted and gained in 
weight it would seem that the 91 grains protein and the 2,600 calories 
per da} T were sufficient for his bodily needs. 
DIETARY STUDY NO. 361. 
The study commenced March 26, 1902, and ended April 3, lasting 
nine days. The total number of meals eaten was twenty-seven, or 
three per day. The subject weighed 168 pounds at the beginning and 
170 pounds at the close. As previously stated, the proportion of fruits 
and nuts eaten was large, the purpose being to thus accustom the sub- 
ject to such foods and avoid a sudden change from ordinary fare to a 
fruitarian diet.
