چکیده
Cathcart & Murray (1939), Andross (1946) and Gray & Dubois (1947) have all contributed to our knowledge of the loss of calories due to plate waste in the civilian population. This type of information, vital in calculating ration scales for the Armed Forces, is not available for the British soldier. The following data on the loss of edible food by plate waste were obtained in the course of an investigation of the dietary habits of the British Army (Ameil, unpublished data).
