Description

We performed food consumption survey in July, 2007 for the 2nd and 5th grade children at an elementary school of Nagano city to evaluate the amounts of energy and nutrients offered with school lunch. Energy intake of the 2nd grade was comparable to the estimated energy requirement (EER), while that of the 5th grade was greatly lower than the EER. Most of nutrients, except iron and dietary fiber, were within the recommendable range. As to the consumption ratio from each meal, energy, protein, lipid and iron showed the similar pattern, being about 33% of total daily consumption from lunch. As for daily consumption of calcium and vitamin B2, intake ratio from lunch was about 50% and 40%, respectively. Results confirmed the important role of school lunch service to compensate the amounts of nutrients which are easy to lack in daily food consumption.
