19世纪末英国工人家庭的营养水平一直备受争议。Trevon Logan(2006,2009)估计可用卡路里的平均水平非常低。这篇论文重新检查了这些数据，发现平均可用卡路里水平更符合现有研究，更符合已知的能源需求，也更符合数据的其他方面。总而言之，英国家庭的食物可能比洛根报告的要好得多。
Levels of nutrition among British worker's households in the late nineteenth century have been much debated. Trevon Logan (2006, 2009) estimated a very low average level of available calories. This paper re-examines the data and finds average levels of available calories much more in line with existing studies, more in line with what is known about energy requirements, and more in line with other aspects of the data. In sum, British households were likely to have been significantly better fed than Logan reports.
