In normal young men, in whom the calorie requirements are fully met, an intake of about 50 g protein per day promotes nitrogen balance, and little additional storage results even from much larger protein intakes (Galloway & Spector, 1954). Chittenden maintained that an adult who adopted the intake of 120 g per day suggested by Voit, or who advised others to do so, was ‘encouraging individual and racial suicide’ (Cathcart, 1912), and the animal experiments of Ross show that by all objective criteria, except that of body-weight, the rats whose dietary intake is restricted fare better than those allowed unlimited quantities of a diet of good quality (Ross, 1961; Ross & Bras, 1965).
