contains fuel for the human machine.
The fuel need for the average family
described above has been estimated
as 500 hundred-calorie portions per
week.
In order that the diet should pro-
vide what Ia needed to maintain
health. one-flfth Of this needed fuel
should come from vegetables and
fruits. one-fifth from milk. meat. eggs.
and other eflicient-protein foods. three
tenths from cereals, one-tenth from
sweets. and one-fifth from fats. This
proportion has been maintained In the
above lists. for 100 hundred-calorie
portions are supplied by fruits and
vegetables: 100 hundred-calorie por-
lions by the efhcient-protein foods /:
go hundresi-calorie portions by the
cereal foods: - hundred-ralorie por-
tions by the sweets: ana 100 hundred
calorie portions by the fats.
