title: Protein and energy requirements: a joint FAO/WHO memorandum.
abstract: Since the publication in 1973 of the report of a Joint FAO/WHO Ad Hoc Expert Committee on protein and energy requirements, some investigations have indicated that the safe levels of protein intake recommended in that report may be too low. This Memorandum reviews the current situation and makes further recommendations where necessary.
