Sažetak
Nutritive quality and variety of food intake is the most important issue for young people who are growing and developing. Very important are nutritional habits of each individual. High values of proteins, minerals and vitamins in milk show the importance of milk consumption in meals for children and young people. To gain a precise look into nutritive status of young people in Croatian boarding schools, a "closed type group" was selected. The examined groups include girls and boys at the age of 14-18 years that are accommodated in 39 boarding schools. Also are conducted questionnaires to determine preferences in consumption of different food groups including milk and milk products. From meal analysis can be seen what can be improved considering the meal preferences. Average values per day show that 52 % of girls and 63 % of boys consume milk and milk products only if they are included in boarding school meals. Only 27 % of girls and 21 % of boys consume milk or milk products every day. Results of preferences of milk and milk products are different according different regions of Croatia, and they are most by incorporated in daily meal offers in Lika and Gorski Kotar. The aim of the work is to determine quality of the energy and nutrition intake by nutrition analysis, and to determine nutritional irregularities with a special reference to consumption of milk and their products. Also, to propose meal corrections by including results of meal preferences to improve daily offer in accordance with the needs and DRI recommendations considering gender and age.
