with 9 meals. The subject (J. F. S.) was a chemist, 29 years of age, weighing 
145 pounds. The study was made for the purpose of obtaining data on which to 
base a ration for use in experiments with the subject in the respiration calo- 
rimeter. The kinds of food in the diet were the same as would be given him in 
such experiments, but the amounts consumed were to be determined by his 
appetite. ‘lhe composition of the food materials used in this dietary was 
known with considerable accuracy, so that the figures in the following tables 
give reliable data concerning the actual nutrients in the food consumed by 
the subject during this period.
