The tallies of l(K)-calorie portions (Tables X\T-XXI) may be used in estimating the amount of protein food that is retiuire^I to meet the needs of the body, since one column states the nuniter of calories a given food supplies in the form of prot^^io. I liow TO estimate: the daily need of lime, iron and PHOSPHORUS It is more difficult to estimate the daily need for lime, iran, and phosphorus than for energy and protein. Yet these are no less imfmrtant than energy antl protein, and some quantita- tive estimates liave been made. In general, however, if liberal am*Hints of foods that contain lime, iron, and phosphorus are included in the daily meals, it m unnecessary to make any quantitative estimates. The following figures are given as a matter of interest and general information : 410 A MANUAL OF HOME-MAKING AveraKi* faiikily per capita allowance of lime a day . 0.70 to LO | Avttmge family per capita allowaace of iron a day. . . 0 JS to , 15 1 Average family per capita allowance of phosphonia a day 2,75 to 3.0 f^nyatf 1 TABLE XVI.— 100-Caujiiie Portion of Fooo« Riot m Starch ' Nmrther Approxinude ^ Wmifhl Food maieriala mewmreoj ICO^calorie in atmetig portiofi proinn bought ■ BeaxiN, dried . . 2 ttd)k«pooiifiils 20 1 >o 1 Hfisad Average while Slice 1x3x3 inches 14 0 13 Whole wheat Slice 1x3x3 inches 15.8 1 1 i Com Starch :{ tahk-spfxjn fills 0 0 10 Meid. 3 tablr^p^Kirifuls, 10 4 10 Flakes 1 ):-4 eiipfiila ,......, 6 1 I/O Homitjy 3t»bli«i»«xjnfuls 9 4 10 Puffed I "4 c*apf ub 6 0 10 Macaroni *4' cupful 14 8 10 Oati, rollrd 1/3 cupful, scant. 16 1 9 Pteaft, dried 2 tablespoonf ula . . 27 7 10 PotatiM-* VVhiit* I mediym 10, li 5 3 Swwt, 1 tsiimll . 5 8 3.6 Ric* PolisbtHl 2 table«poonfula 0 1 10 PufFofl I 1/3 cupful* 0 I I 0 Wheat CmrkiHi 2!»i tahkwpoiinruls 12 3 10 ShriMlded I biscuit. 14 0 10 Fuffi'd 1 2/3 cupful^ 15 0 10 Wheat fliMjr Patent \i rupful . . 12 7 1.0 Entire ^i vupful, ........ 15-4 10 Craliani 34 fuiiful, sejtnl 12. 7 1.0 * Some of the mea»urt»mpntH in Tables XVI to XX wen* made by Miriam BirdHcye, while ntherw wore eanipiliHl frrjiu v:iriiiui4 ."sourcH-a including Feed- ing th«» Family^ by Mary Swartx Roet^ The other dat^ in the»4» tabled. j are bawvl on the table of lOO-calorie (jortiona in Food Producta, by Hetuy | C* Sherman, ,PiJiTK XVI . — SbowiziK 100>«iiloiie portioiiB of somie comnioci f ooda.
