This editorial concisely reviews the pitfalls of defining nutritional requirements as has been done in the past and argues that approaches that emphasize optimal physiologic function should be instituted instead.

The answer appears to be "no," because gains in weight and length were comparable between two groups of infants. One group received breast milk exclusively for the first 6 months of life, and another group received high-quality protein supplements from ages 4 to 6 months.

Convalescent malnourished infants and toddlers were randomly assigned to receive three different levels of protein intake, ranging from 4.7% to 8.0% of dietary energy. No significant differences in weight gain, length gain, or body composition were found.

Because the data were presented using historical control subjects, the findings should be evaluated via a randomized trial.
