In this breakfast, as may be readily
seen, all the essential elements of food
are supplied. The relative number Of
calories, however, does not depend
upon the quantity Of the food. A good
sized baked apple, though furnishing
mineral salts Of great value to the sys-
tenn, represents only 80 calories, while
tablespoonfuls of cream contribute
300 of these Indispensable heat units.
The coffee alone does not supply any
nourishment, but furnishes a stimulant
though any cream or sugar added to
it gives additional calories
Varying conditions may, of course,
modify such meal. For instance, if
a light breakfast is desirable, the egg
las the most expensive article on the
menu-may be omitted
Lunching for Energy.

Directions Make Risotto by combining
thick white sauce with other ingredients,
sprinkling cracker crumbs over top. Then
bake until brown in moderate oven.)
OF the foods combined In this meat
substitute, Risotto, the cheese has the
highest calorie value. In fact, one
pound Of cheese is equal to two of
meat-a useful thing to remember ID
these days Of soaring prices and low
cred wages. After such substantial
main dish, the fragrant sliced orange
offers an acceptable variety, and also
supplies a harmonious color scheme.

This dinner supplies a high calorie
content and is designed for the ener-
getic individual who has had a full
days activity Of either work or play,
and perhaps rather light lunch.
Should less hearty meal be desired,
however, either the salad or the soup
could be omited; or a substitute
might be supplied in place of the rich
and nourishlng date pudding. In the
foregoing menu, 1t win be noted that
the inexpensive creamed chestnuts con-
t94bute lib more calories than the cost
der spring lamb. This is due in part
to the nourishing quality Of the cream
sauce, but mainly to the nutritive value
Of this variety of nut, which may be
served instead of potatoes or other
starchy vegetables and even, on occa-
sions, takeAe place Of meat.
Such calorie meal, in short, offers
a basis for similar meals, ad infnltum.
