The building fooda, explain th Bureau of Home Economics of th U. 8. De partment of Agriculture.' ar those rich In subatsncea that go to male muscles, bones, and other tlasuea nf the body. For muscle building, that means protein In particular, and the fooda moat Important for their pro tein ar milk, cheesa. meat, fish, poultry, and eggs aleo nut peanut, and soybean. Nearly all fooda eon tain aome protein. It varies, however. In quantity and In quality, or "effi ciency." And what la protein? The word 1 from a Oreek rerb meaning "to b flrat." Nearly a hundred year ago, wrttea one of the authorities on nu trition, a scientist pave the nam pro tein to what he believed to be the main substance of the body. The plu ral form "proteins." ha com to mean a large number of related chem ical compounds which ar essential to the formation of all plant and anl. mat tlesuea. Plant manufacture their protein from materials they get from the soil and air Animals must get theirs, more or lea ready-made, In their food. Chemically, proteins are composed of substances called amino acids, which always contain nitrogen, hi addition to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are the element oc curring In carbohydrate and fat,. There are 1" or more amino acid, and they form different combina tion, or oorrrpoirndi, each' of which 1 called a protein No One Pood Baa All Then are so many eomblnatlonaof amino acid, ao many protein, that bo en food cental na them all. nor doe th body need to get them all In It food. But aome of th amino add are essential, and when they are nresent In good proportions, the motels la aald to be "efficient," hUrh ouellty protein. In fooda where onlv some of th essential amino acids are present, or sx there in very mall quantltlee th protein la not of good quality, or l -ineincieni. I. ., Inadequate for th body needs. Milk, cheese, meata, fish, poultry and eggs are , rich In proteins con taining all the essential amino aclda. Theirs Is first quality, "efficient" pro tein. Nut and the bean family (le gumes) ari alao rleh In protein, but of varying quality and useiuuiese. ut ar rich in good protein, but they ar also very rich In fat. Por thla reason It la hard to u nut enough to meet th protein require ment without getting more fat In th diet then la desirable. Peanut and ovbeana also contain protein of good quality. In the common bean and sea, th percentage of protein 1 high, but of good qusllty that need reinforcement from otner icona some meat, for example, aa In chill con earne. or a s-lass of milk with the meal. All other vegetable, the grain and th fruit contain protein, but for th most part It la not of high qual ity. In th leafy vegetable th pro tein quality I good, but there 1 too llttl protein to coun very much. Ora'ns. Milk Good. Almost any of the grain, with milk furnish a good protein combination oatmeal and milk, for example, a a oreakfast food: or whole-wheat chow. der, or .corn chowder. The same Is true of macaroni and cheee. or vege table scalloped In milk or cheese auoe. Milk. In fact, contain mor than enough of the amino add which ar lacking In uroteln from moat plant sources, and la a good Mipplement to anv cereal or vegetable. But how doea all this work out when It corr.es to planning meals? Protein 1 absolutely necessary to life, and It 1 a substance that can not be stored In the body fat. for Instance. I stored. Children must have protein to build their bodle. Adults and children alike must hav It to make up for the wear and tear unon bod lea already built. But too much protein food la not a good thing, because any more than enough for actual body needs must oe oia- poaed of omehow. and thla exoess may give troubl So th amount of protein we eat our "prowin Intake" I a matter of considerable Import ance. Portunately, the margin between enough and too much protein la fairly wide, and need not restrict most peo pi aerloualv. Much depend upon habits of life People who lead active lives out of doors can use more pro teln than less active people who live, chiefly indoor. Something depends unon th 1 of the Individual, too. for big bodies hav more muscle, bone and blood to keen In repair, tnuarao however, need proportionately more protein than adultt, because children need It for growth That la one rea son whv nutritionist would hav all growing children use a quart of milk a day.
