Mrs. E. H. Richards has suggested the following for an adult not engaged in active exercise:
Gm. | Oz. | Fat | |||
Bread............... | 453.6 | 16 | 31.75 | 2.26 | 257.28 |
Meat................ | 226.8 | 8 | 34.02 | 11.34 | ... |
Oysters............. | 226.8 | 8 | 12.52 | 2.04 | ... |
Cocoa............... | 28.3 | 1 | 6.60 | 7.50 | 9.60 |
Milk................. | 113.4 | 4 | 3.63 | 4.42 | 4.88 |
Broth............... | 453.6 | 16 | 18.14 | 18.14 | 90.72 |
Sugar............... | 28.3 | 1 | 27.36 | ||
Butter.............. | 14.17 | 1/2 | .14 | 12.27 | ... |
Total nutriment.... | ... | .... | 106.80 | 57.97 | 389.84 |
The "carbohydrate" in broth must mean gelatin. If one were to criticize this ration, it would be mainly from the standpoint of the palate. The amount of milk allowed for cocoa is very small, only half of an ordinary cupful for the entire day. Much better cocoa is made of entire milk plus the powdered chocolate made into paste. The allowance of oysters is rather large, except for a single day's ration not to be repeated. The bread is rather high and most persons would prefer to replace part of it with potatoes when a larger amount of meat would be needed. The sugar is very low, not much over a quarter of that taken by choice.
