Despite lowered of garden crops both daily adult male energy protein intakes (12930 kJ, 3090 kcal 56 g, respectively) exceeded requirement safe levels by FAO/WHO/UNU (1985), whereas those (7750 1852 35 g) below levels. The difference was mostly attributable to three times higher normal than Heli. findings are relevant maintenance security among Highlanders.
