If it is desired to add other foods to the list, divide the number of calories furnished by a pound l of the food into 1600 to find the number of ounces, into 45,364 to find the number of grams. To find the number of calories from protein, multiply the weight in grams of the 100-calorie portion by the per cent 2 of protein in the food, and then multiply by 4. In the table, A. P. means "As Purchased" ; E. P. means "Edible Portion." WEIGHT OP 100-CALOBiE APPROXIMATE NAME OF FOOD PORTION NUMBER OF CALORIES FROM Oz. (approx.)
