| | Use of corn-bean mixtures to satisfy protein and energy requirements of preschool children |
|
|
Objectives
- To determine whether pre-school children can fulfil their protein requirements with a diet based on corn and beans.
- To determine which proportions of corn-and-bean-protein mixtures are better, in the sense that they lead to lower protein requirements and are the proportions spontaneously selected by pre-school children.
- To determine the energy density of corn-bean diets necessary to fulfil both the protein and energy requirements of pre-school children eating ad libitum. (Is bulk a limiting element in corn-bean diets in preschool children?)
