Question

if 5 men or 8 women anus 625 per day how much would 8 men and 12 women earn per day

Answer 1

The amounts of nutrients contained in the adult human body represent

the integration of the day to day accretions from the time of conception

to the termination of growth. These accretions are usually determined

by balance experiments carried out at different periods of growth and are

assumed to measure the net requirements of the respective nutrients with

due consideration of the synthesis and transformation of organic nutrients

in metabolism. Thus, the accretion of fat does not measure a fat requirement,

but the accretion of protein and of the essential mineral elements may.

Whether it does, or whether it does not, ivill depend upon the capacity of

the body to store the nutrient in amounts considerably greater than current

needs. The capacity of the body t,o store protein is strictly limited; so

that nitrogen balances secured on a growing child after a reasonable period

of adjustment to a liberal int’ake will measure reasonably well the amount

needed for maximum growth in terms of net protein.
