PAGE FOTTR BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 7. 1935. OF FOOD VALUES NEEDED BY BODY Energy Is As Essential As Fuel and Meals Should Be So Balanced, State ExDerts Diets Cited "Counting tht calories' is one way to tell whether we are eating enouRn, too much, or too little. For the ever- ege Individual, however, counting calories la not very practical, and as a matter of fact, with a varied diet, It la probably not Important so long as one's weight remains aoouc nor mal Xor height and age. It may be important, however, for people who must learn to follow a special diet of some kind a reducing diet, a, fatten ing diet, or a diabetic diet, lor exam ple. And to havs a general Ides of calorie valuea helps the meal-planner . to provide a balanced diet tor tiie family, aays the bureau of home eco nomics of the U. S. department of agriculture. So what are calories? What does it . mean when the nutritionist says that a moderately active man needs about 8,000 calories per day, and a moder ately active woman about 3,200 cal ories? Calories are unite of measure, the bureau explains. Applied to food they measure Its value as fuel for the hu man body. A slice of bread, for ex ample, yields so many calorics of fuel value, or energy. A serving of meat, of vegetables, fruit, milk, butter, su gar, each yields so many calories and the count ol tne caiones in an the foods that go to make up three meals a day showa whether those meals furnish enough energy or fuel. Body Needs Energy Fuel, however, la only one of the essentials. The body must have en ergy to keep It alive and active, and It get this energy from food nsjh as the combustion engine burns fuel to produce the force that makes the engine go. The average man of mod erately active occupation usee about 8,000 calories of energy each day, the average moderately active woman usee about 2,300 calories. Therefore, thny need fuel enough to furnish those oalorles and they get it in their food Pood serves as fuel because it con tains substances the body can burn. Those substances are carbohydrates, fata, and proteins, All foods contain one or more of these substances; therefore all foods have some fuel value but some have more than otters because they contain ao much more fuel substance. These energy1 foods, as they are called. Include the cereals and sugars, which are richest In carbohydrates: and butter and the margarines, lard and the vegetable oils, which are concentrated fats. Meat, flan, eggs and cheese, which are the chief protein foods and have var ious other food values are also val uable for fuel. The vegetables and fruits, for the most part, come lower In fuel value, although potatoes have a hlgh-cal-orle rating because of the starch they cbntaln. Well up In the list come beana and peas, especially aoy beana. All of these are rich in car bohydrates, fat. and proteins. Ripe bananas are rich in sugar; avocadoes are usually rich in fat. Home Low In fuel On the other hand, foods that are watery and fibrous, like the green, cabbage, broccoli, celery, okra, or to matoes, cucumbers, sauerkraut, rhu barb, summer squash, and various other succulent vegetables, are low In fuel value. Most of the fruits run a llttlt? hlehrr than mnnt veKetablea be- cause the fruits contain more sugar. A count of the calories, however, tells by no means all the require ments of good diet. The human body needa food for three main purposes (1) to supply the energy that keeps It alive and active: (3) to build, maintain and repair the body struc ture of bone, muscle and blood; and (3) to keep the whoi organism In good health and running order. Nu tritionists say, therefore, don't think only of calories and energy foods, but also of the body-bullding and health protective foods, many of which are low In calories. For example, a breakfast of cereal with milk or cream and sugar, bread, butter, eggs or meat, coffee with cream and sugar, and maybe some Jam or marmalade, Is a hlghrcalorle meal. In order not to pile up the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, without leaving room for the miner als and vitamins that are not abund ant In many of the hlgh-calorle foods, lunch and dinner should in clude greens, cabbage, broccoli cauliflower, or a succulent vegetable like tomatoes, and a Juicy fruit. These would furnish minerals and vitamins to supplement the carbo hydrates of bread and potatoes or sweet potatoes, the fat and proteins of meats, the fat of gravies and salad dressings, and the sugar and fat of desserts. Balance Necessary In other words, In a meal with bread and butter, meat and potatoes. milk or cheese, the energy foods are fully provided, and the rest of the menu should be chosen for other kinds of food value. When It comes to selecting foods, here are some points to remember: The different grains wheat, oats. corn, rye are about equally rich in carbohydrate and practically equal In energy value. A serving of oatmeal yields about the same number of calories as the same amount of corn meal mush, or cooked whole wheat, or rice, or any of the cooked break fast cereals, white or dark. No one cereal product can be superior to an other In energy value, because the source of the calories carbohydrate is the same. Whole wheat bread yields the same calorie value as white bread in slices of the same sire. Cheese High In Energy White sugar la pure carbohydrate, and its energy value is about 60 cal ories to a scant tablespoonful. But ter, margarine, lard and the vegetable fats or oils yield about the same number of calories each 100 per scant tablespoonful. Milk furnishes energy value In the sugar, fat and protein it contains about 333 calories to the pint of whole milk. Cresm li almost entirely milk fat and water, lta calorie value varying with lta richness I. e., the concentration of the fat. Skim milk has less energy vslue, because it has leu fat. In a pint of skim milk the energy value amounts to about 176 calories. Chenss Is a concentration of fat and protein, therefore high In energy value, a 1 1-8 cube of Ched dar cheese running to about 100 calories. The energy value of meat comes froi . fat and protein, and the calorie vslue of a serving of meat will vary according to the amount of fat and the dryness of the piece of meat. 4 THE GRANGE RIDES IN AUTOS F iii i and - ' OTTAWA.
