Abstract
Eight healthy men received a formula diet over a period of 12 days. The acceptance of the diet was good. Gastroenterological side-effects were rarely noticed. Stool frequency was 0.5/day. To keep weight constant a caloric need of 24 +/- 3 cal/kg/BW was necessary. The nitrogen balance was regulated by feeding 59 g protein, 53 g fat and 216 g carbohydrate. The average intake of nitrogen amounted to 8.9 +/- 1.7 g/day. A daily nitrogen loss of 6.96 +/- 1.87 g/day was noticed.
