The subjects, whose daily nutrient intake is under the Dietary Allowances, have been indicated as being undesirable nutritures on the basis of the data concerning food intake investigations. But, these indications are merely based on the comparisons between the food intake and the Dietary Allowances.
Hereupon, in order to confirm whether the nutritures of young women (college students) who are in these situations are inadequate or not, each caloric intake and fluctuation of body weight were examined every day through a week in three seasons (April, June, and August).
It was found that though their caloric intakes were lower than the Dietary Allowances, their body weight were constant and they could engage in full activities.
The authors assumed that these situations need no apprehensions.
