The test meal consisted of the following: one fried egg, one slice of Canadian bacon, one buttered English muffin, one serving of hash brown potatoes, one slice of American cheese, eight ounces of whole milk, and six ounces of orange juice.  This meal (790 calories) derived 17% of calories from protein, 34% of calories from carbohydrate, and 49% of calories from fat.

 

Other meals and beverages were free of grapefruit products, xanthines, and caffeine, and were identical during the study periods.
