A Short Method of Calculating the Nutritive Value of Diets (concluded)

Abstract
The food pattern planned for the soldier subsisting on Field Ration A during the year May 1941 to April 1942 has been described. Seasonal tables of nutritive values based on this food pattern have been presented as a rapid means of calculating the probable nutritive value of food supplied for Field Ration A, the rough equivalent of a liberal civilian diet. Reference is made to a previous publication for the detailed background of such tables, and for the degrees of accuracy made possible by their use.
