* Sandow sat a long time with friends after supper, and consumed a large part of 
the beer during this time. 
+ This was the regular lunch served at the hotel. 
It will be seen that the heaviest meal was consumed very 
soon after the severe exercise. It is not claimed that the 
figures here given are perfectly accurate. The time of obser- 
vation was very short and the diet was very varied. It would 
seem, however, from his own statements and from what we 
were able to observe, that the food of the day selected for the 
experiment was a fair average for Mr. Sandow’s dietary habits. 
It is probable that the fat as computed is somewhat too high, 
since all the analyses of meat given in the standard tables 
refer to samples which contain visible fat, while, as noted 
above, Mr. Sandow rejected all the visible fat of the meat 
served him. It is, however, believed that no serious error was 
made in computing the composition of the food from tables 
rather than from analyses.
