The fu e l, or food, with whichyou restore the energy so generou sly andpatriotically expended, must conform tothe fundamental principles of a balance ddiet. Don 't think that proper eating is awa ste of time .IIA need for calories depend s upon aperson 's age, size, or activity-increa seddutie s cause your body to demand help.To c urta il meal s, eat ha stily, or substi t ute a " catc h-a s-catch-can " snack, is notpla ying fair with the job at hand.

Cere al s, legumes, and vegetables fa ll into the " ve getable-protein "group . Both a re important and do notrepla ce e a c h other. A combination ofthe two make s an excellent dish. Forb reakfa st nourishment, try a whole grainc ere al (eith e r raw or cooked) plus wholemilk, suga r, and fruit added, as you like.One food ex pert says "Half of the need ed food c alories should be taken infruits, vegetables, and milk, in someform s". He recommend s that at lea sthalf of -t he bread s and cereal s con sumed b e in " whole grain " types.Carbohydrates are our chief sourceof ene rgy but average diet is far toohig h in th: c ood. Watch yours!Fats with a reasonable amount ofstorag e are al so necessary to meet theem ergen c ies of life . They have a protE;Jctive and heat-insulating propertytha t is required for full vigor and health.It ha s been suggested that fats plu ssta rches should be no more than 20 percer: t of the total diet.La ck of som e vitamin s in food s, inthe prese nt day diets, is usual.
