Not illustrated. 1915 Excerpt: ...quantity of energy. Thus, for soldiers, Voit's ration during manoeuvres consists of: with a total calorie value of 3348. His ration for war-time consists of corresponding to 3575 calories. Even this may be insufficient to supply the energy needs during a period of intense muscular activity. In one experiment by Atwater, in which the individual performed muscular work for a period of sixteen hours out of the twenty-four in a calorimeter, the total energy given out amounted to over 9000 calories in the course of the twentyfour hours. It is probable, however, that in all cases where such excessive calls on the energies of an individual are made, one or even two rest days would follow the day of exertion, so that the deficiency of the food on the day of exertion would be made good by an increased intake of food on the following days. Thus three days' intake of 5000 calories woidd yield sufficient energy for the output of 9000 calories on one day of exertion and of 3000 calories, the normal amount, on each of the two succeeding rest days. The relative part played by the different constituents of a diet in yielding energy to the body has been determined by many observers and especially in a long series of researches by Atwater. Tn the following Table are given details of the daily food in one such experiment on a man weighing 76 kilos: Very few accurate experiments have been made on the daily requirements of women. Since the average weight of a woman is less than that of a man and the work performed less severe, she will require a smaller amount of food both to meet the energy expenditure of the body and to provide for the repair of her tissues. Voit, under the assumption that the body weight of woman is four-fifths that of man, and that her energy requirements a...
