Nitrogen balances were performed in a group of children, aged 8 to 13, submitted in two different periods to an equal intake of proteins and calories, but with a different distribution of the animal protein throughout the day.

In both cases the mixed diet supplied 63 g protein and 2,050 kcal, of which 12% was protein calories. In period I, all the animal protein foods were given at breakfast and lunch; in period II, they were distributed in the four meals of the day.

The results showed a positive mean balance of 426.8 mg nitrogen/day per boy in the first period; in the second one, a positive mean balance of 1,472.9 mg nitrogen/day per boy was found.
