The need of tissue-building foods in the diet is a well understood fact and their principal source is meat. Among the various foods which may be used in place of meat are: Eggs, poultry, fish, game, cheese, milk, legumes, some cereals, and nuts.

There are other tissue-building foods than meat and they may be substituted for it in the diet. Eggs, cheese and milk are the chief ones. Whole grains and legumes, while not what are known as complete proteins, make a satisfactory substitute for meat when combined with eggs, cheese or milk. 6 eggs 6 tablespoons milk
