In the study with this subject previously reported the diet fur- 
nished 33 grams protein and 1,300 calories per day. The above table 
shows a daily consumption of almost 25 per cent more protein and 
about 7 per cent more energy. In the present study cereals formed 
part of the diet, supplying 2.7 grams protein and 13.5 grams carbo- 
hydrates, whereas during the former test the diet with the exceptions 
of a little olive oil and honey consisted exclusively of fruit and nuts. 
The tentative standard for a woman at light work calls for 90 grams 
of protein and 2,250 calories, amounts which are far in excess of those 
furnished by the present diet. 
DIETARY STUDY OF A STUDENT (NO. 360), 
This study and the two succeeding ones, Nos. 361 and 362 beyond, 
form part of an investigation undertaken for the purpose of ascertain- 
ing the value of an exclusive fruitarian diet for a healthy, active young 
man accustomed to the conventional mixed diet. 
The subject selected was a vigorous, healthy university student, 22 
years old, conscientious in his studies and prominent in athletics. 
The investigation was divided as follows: (1) A study of seven days' 
duration (No. 360), during which time he ate his usual mixed diet; (2) 
a study of nine days' duration (Xo. 361), during which time a large 
proportion of fruit was used as a substitute for part of the meat, eggs, 
arid cereals of the usual daily fare; and (3) a study of eight da} T s' du- 
ration (No. 362), during which time, with the exception of 10 grams 
per day of cane sugar, the diet was composed exclusively of fruit and 
nuts. Following the above two metabolism experiments on a strictly 
fruitarian diet were carried on, for the details of which see pages 
67, 68.
