Relationship between the nutritional efficacy of a rice and bean diet and energy intake in preschool children

JE Dos Santos, JM Howe, FA Moura Duarte and JE Dutra de Oliveira

Nitrogen balance and urea excretion were measured in a group of 4- to 6- year-old children receiving a rice and bean diet providing 1 g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day and three levels of calories. With diets providing 2300 and 3000 kcal/day, nitrogen retention was 41.16 +/- 29.04 and 53.30 +/- 18.46 mg/kg of body weight per day, respectively. With 1400 kcal/day, diet nitrogen retention decreased to 25.38 +/- 13.88 mg/kg body weight and urea nitrogen excretion increased. The importance of adequate caloric intake for optimum utilization of dietary protein from a rice and bean diet for growing children is demonstrated.
