Some cereals and commercial articles of vegetable origin were eaten 
in addition to vegetables, fruit, nuts, olive oil, and hone}'. Cereals 
supplied about 8 per cent of the protein and between 5 and 6 per cent 
of the energy of the diet. Such a dietary is not strictly fruitarian, 
but as fruit and nuts, chiefly the latter, furnished about 92 per cent of 
the protein and nearly 95 per cent of the energy, it was thought best 
to classify it under that head. 
Notwithstanding the small amount of protein in this dietary the 
subject seemed, as she did at the time of the studies made the pre- 
vious year, to be perfectly healthy but very small for her age. 
DIETARY STUDY OF A FRUITARIAN (NO. 359). 
The study began March 1, 1962, and continued for twenty-one days. 
The subject, a woman, was the same as in dietary stud}^ No. 328 pre- 
viously reported." 31 years old, height 5 feet, weighing 93.5 pounds at 
the beginning and end of the study. The number of meals taken was 
forty -two, equivalent to one woman for twenty-one days or one man 
for fifteen days. 
Table 11 shows in detail the results of this study.
