Problems in the Prediction of Protein Values of Diets: Caloric Restriction

D. S. Miller and P. R. Payne

Human Nutrition Research Unit, National Institute for Medical Research, London, England

1. An equation is presented for the prediction of the protein value of diets when fed under conditions of caloric restriction:
Figure 1
where C is the caloric intake per day per kilogram of body weight to the power of 0.73.
2. Observed values for NDpCals % for 6 diets fed to rats over a range of caloric intakes agree well with the values from the equation.
3. A nomogram is presented for the easy solution of the equation which it is proposed tentatively could be applied to man.

Manuscript received 25 April 1961.
