TABLE IV

COMPOSITION AND FUEL VALUE OF MOST OF THE FOODS USED IN THE INVALID
DIETARY

All determinations allow 28.35 grams to the ounce.

All calculations are made using the factor 4 calories for protein, 4
calories for carbohydrates, and 9 calories for fats.

The materials are measured in standard 8-ounce measuring cups, or
tablespoons. The measures are exactly level unless otherwise stated.
In calculating beverages containing alcohol, it is necessary to know
the percentage of alcohol contained therein. Alcohol has a fuel value
of 7 calories per gram. (Whether this heat is available for the needs
of the body is still a question.)

B1 _Proteins Per Cent_
