Abstract
OUR adopted standards of diet consisting of 100 gm. protein, 100 gm. fat and 500 gm. carbohydrate with an energy value averaging 3,000 calories are derived from statistics of the food consumption of families in various cities. There is no difference of opinion about the caloric value, but the amount of protein has been much discussed and agreement has not been reached. In Great Britain the special committees of the Medical Research Council and the British Medical Association have adopted 50 gm. of animal or first-class protein as the minimum to be aimed at in compiling diets.
