1. The effect of varying energy and protein intake on nitrogen balance in adult men engaged in heavy manual labour was investigated.

2. Low protein and energy levels resulted in negative N balance and urea index (Waterlow, 1963) was decreased.

3. Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline was found to be sensitive to dietary protein level, but not to energy.
