Sažetak
One of the problems of hospitality industry in Croatia is lack of data about dietary habits of various age groups of tourists and the fulfillment of their nutritive needs through hotel offer. We conducted study with the aim to asses dietary habits, with special concern on cereal consumption among elderly French tourists. These data were compared with nutritional evaluation of 28 complete breakfasts served in hotel where study participants were accommodated. For the purpose of this study Food Frequency Questionnaire with some additional questions on eating habits and lifestyle practice was designed. The study sample included 200 subjects, of both genders (106 males and 94 females), with an average age of 69.1. The obtained results have shown that 91.1 % of participants regularly have breakfast. For 45.6 % of males and 42.8 % of females the favorable breakfast cereal was corn flakes while muesli took the second place. Mostly, questioned persons consumed whole grain products and the share of this group in served breakfast should increase, as well as the amount of breakfast cereals. Breakfast evaluation has shown that energy share from fats especially those of animal origin should decrease.
