Caloric requirement of a soldier

Abstract

"Studies on daily energy expenditure and actual consumption of food of troops during collective training period have been found that the present ration scale is not adequate.5 percent cut in rations should be abolished during collective training period. Further work is required on the energy expenditure and food consumption of soldiers in summer. Similar studies should be carried out for Navy and Airforce. Adequacy of animal protein content of the existing Army ration requires investigation."
