Sažetak
In 2007, the new dietary recommendations for the organization of nutrition in kindergartens were published in Croatia, and one of the most
important goals in them was to regulate the intake of fats and fatty acids. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the energy
value and the amount of fats and fatty acids in 5 kindergartens in the city of Zadar at an interval of 10 years after the implementation of the new
dietary recommendations. A total of 45 daily menus (4 meals) were collected in 2007/2008 and 2018/2019, from which the amount of food was
weighed to determine the portion size of the meals and their composition. The energy value and the amount of fats and fatty acids from the daily
menus were calculated using the American and Danish food and beverage nutrient databases. The results show that in both periods of menu
collection, the energy value was reduced (80-84% of recommendations) and the amounts of total fats and fatty acids were below recommendations.
An increase in the amount of ω-6 fatty acids was observed in 2018/2019 compared to 2007/2008 (3.4 g / day vs. 4.5 g / day; p = 0.015). In addition,
there were large differences in the amount of fats and fatty acids within the menus. The meat, poultry, fish and eggs group (about 18%) contributes to
the highest intake of total fats, followed by milk and dairy products (about 14%) and grains, grains products, potatoes and rice (11%). No systematic
improvement of the menus in the kindergartens was observed and it is necessary to identify the critical elements in the system due to which there has
been no improvement in nutrition despite the existence of recommendations.
