Development of Complete Diets for Schoolchildren in Full-term Boarding Schools

Abstract

Introduction. The daily food ration for schoolchildren staying in boarding schools 24/7 includes breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and a second dinner at 21.00. The calorie content of the diet exceeds the indicators specified in SanPiN 2.3/2.4.3590-20 for nutrition of children and adolescents by more than 1000 kcal. The calculation of the two-week menu was made on the basis of the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation No. 454 dated May 24, 2017 “On approval of the norms and procedures for providing, at the expense of the federal budget, free meals, a free set of clothing, shoes and soft equipment for minors located in federal institutions for the prevention of neglect and juvenile delinquency "

Purpose. The purpose of the study was to develop a menu of diets for schoolchildren in boarding schools.

Materials and methods. The menu was compiled taking into account seasonality: spring-summer and autumn-winter. The age category of adolescents was selected from 7 to 11. Recommendations for the nutrition of children in boarding schools are distributed throughout the Russian Federation.

Results. The developed diet for schoolchildren living in boarding schools provides increased calorie content due to the introduction of dishes and side dishes from cereals, legumes and pasta, bread and bakery products into individual meals. The developed diets are enriched with a mineral-vitamin complex, the concentration of which is almost twice as high as the norms established by SanPiN 2.3/2.4.3590-20.

Conclusions. A variety of juices, fresh fruits and vegetables consumed year-round will help to form the vital functions of the body, and the introduction of meat, fish and dairy products into the diet will ensure growth and physical development.
