    The moderately active man has the advantage over his sedentary brother in that his exercise is likely to give him better appetite and digestion; and he is more fortunately situated than the man doing severe muscular exercise, in that he does not have to buy so many calories with his money. If one has to buy 4000 calories for 60 cents, he must proceed on a plan suitable for 1^ cents per 1000 calories; but if only 3000 calories are required, there will be fifteen cents which can be used to make the dietary richer in vitamins. Since we have learned that a diet which is adequate for the main- tenance of the adult can be improved, increasing vigor and resistance to disease, such an investment may be regarded as distinctly advantageous. The following food plan and dietary offer suggestions for the man whose occupation is one involving a moderate amount of physical labor.
