Abstract
Optimum requirements for growth in normal children are defined by the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) (National Research Council, Food and Nutrition Board, 1980). Given access to adequate food, it is assumed that normal children will have an appetite that assures an adequate intake of energy. Requirements for specific nutrients other than energy are usually met when children satisfy appetite for calories with customary foods. Specific nutrients are taken well in excess of RDA and, in many instances, the excess is excreted in urine. Dietary tolerances are generous in normal children (Holliday, 1976).
