The total food intake and energy expenditure were measured, during a period of one week, on 21 elderly women living with their families of varying sizes. They were aged about 60 and weighed about 60 kg. The mean intake and expenditure of energy were about 1950 and 2100 Cal. per day, respectively. Protein accounted for about 13% of the calories, fat about 43% and carbohydrate, 44%. The exact intakes of protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium and iron are tabulated.
