Objective Analysising the contents and distribution of 5 main nutrients of the recipe used in the study of protein physiological requirement and computing the energy contained in food by use of the energy coefficient of macronutrients. Method The routine diets of the students of Bethune military medical college were subjects, which contained 34 different kinds of food. Protein, fat, carbonhydrate, ash content and water were determined with national standard methods. Result The carbonhydrate content of the cereal was 46.9% on average, which was higher than that of meat and vegetable. The energy contained in the cereal was at a relatively high level, which was 1 331 kJ/100 g on average, the protein content of meat was 21.4% on average. Nutrients in vegetable were relatively lower. Actual intake amount of protein in different dose group was in accordance with the predetermined protein dose, and the energy ratio of macronutrients was rational. Conclusion The 3-day receipe that was made refering to the routine diets of the students can supply enough energy and nutrients for physiological requirements.
