Healthy and tasty diet in school meals with a focus on salt and flavorings
ŠNOKHOUSOVÁ, Veronika
My bachelor thesis is called "Healthy and tasty diet in school meals with a focus on salt and flavorings". The production of more and more processed food and change of a lifestyle change eating habits. The population consumes more energy-dense foods with a high content of saturated fat, trans-fatty acids, sugars and salt. Salt is main source of sodium and its consumption is connected with hypertension and increased risk of heart diseases. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part I deal with school feeding programs for children of age 11 to 15. I focus on basic nutrients, nutritional recommendations and above all on salt and flavourings. For practical part I have chosen as a first goal to find out if the meals are balanced and evaluate the quality of food. Another goal is to find out if the employees in school canteens have proper information about salt and flavourings. The last goal was to focus on children and their satisfaction with the meals through questionnaires. The result of practical part showed that meals are often oversalted, insufficient to satiate and does not look interesting.

How school meals work in the Czech Republic in the 21st century in terms of raw sobriety
MALCOVÁ, Eliška
This bachelor thesis is called "How school meals work in the Czech Republic in the 21st century in terms of raw material sobriety". Eating habits are developed from an early age. Of course, family background is a big part of this, but the school environment also plays an equally important role in shaping dietary habits. The theoretical part deals mainly with nutritional recommendations for school-age children, other recommendations in nutrition and with the food pyramid. It also discusses the importance of school meals, its history, legislation and, last but not least, the HACCP system and the principles of good manufacturing and hygiene practice. A total of 8 informers were involved in the research part, of which 2 informers were the heads of the examined school canteens in Písek, the remaining informers were the cooks there. A qualitative method was applied to collect the data using semi-structured interviews, observations and analysis of the documentation. For the practical part, 3 goals were chosen. The first objective was to focus on the suppliers of raw materials, including the frequency of supply and the quality of provided raw materials. The second objective was to evaluate the processing the ingredients into tasty and nutritionally balanced meals. The last goal was to map the current state of food and nutrition in school canteens from the perspective of raw material modesty. The results revealed that the raw materials are ordered every day, the vegetables are delivered 2-3 times a week, the meat basically every day and the durables once a week. As the school canteens check the freshness of the delivered raw materials. If some raw materials come in poor quality, the manager will return them to the supplier. Neither of the examined canteens complied with all nutritional recommendations and thus the required nutritional parameters were not met. In terms of tastiness of prepared meals, the school canteen II achieved better results. However, it should be mentioned that the canteens differed greatly in the amount of leftovers. From the provided documents, it was found that they try to have simple recipes and use as few ingredients as possible. However, but seasonings and higher amounts of salt are still part of the recipes.

A number of children with obesity is constantly increasing, where the age of the child is decreasing. Children's obesity is mainly associated with unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise. The purpose of the "Monitoring nourishment frequency in obese children and children with physiological weight" study is to determine the nourishment frequency in children with obesity and children with physiological weight. This study is divided into two parts; the theory part and the practical part, where in the first section of the theory part the researcher will discuss main characteristics of school-aged children and also outlines the results from previous studies focusing on school-aged children and their eating habits.

The eating habits of children with overweight / obese and normal weight
ŠIMKOVÁ, Simona
The purpose of this bachelor´s thesis titled "Eating habits of overweight/obese and normal body weight children" was to find out how overweight/obese and normal body weight children abide by recommended healthy eating habits. The thesis is divided in two parts, a theoretical and a practical one. In the theoretical part, I describe basic terms regarding healthy eating habits for children. Furthermore, this part includes information about individual diet ingredients, about energy consumption and nutrients in various stages of children's development and about eating throughout the day. It also focuses on the issue of childhood obesity; it briefly covers eating disorders. The practical part focuses on mapping children´s eating habits. During the research, both quantitative and qualitative methods were utilized. The quantitative research was accomplished through a questionnaire on eating and physical activity preferences, where the respondents marked their frequency of various food consumption, how often they carry out certain physical activities, how often they watch television or use a computer. The qualitative research included data on weekly children's diets as well as their drinking regime (amount and kind of drink). The gathered data were evaluated using the Nutriservis professional and Microsoft Excel software. The processed data were interpreted in the form of text, graphs and tables. All the data were processed anonymously. The research sample was made up of 50 randomly selected respondents at 8 - 10 years of age, half of which (25 respondents) had a physiological weight and the other half (25 respondents) were obese/overweight. The respondents were selected based on the willingness of the children and their parents to cooperate. The questionnaires and forms used to record the food intake were distributed in schools in the Tábor district. Several children from Sezimovo Ústí also voluntarily participated. The data were gathered from February to March 2015. In total, 202 forms were distributed, out of which only 68 were used for the research purposes. Using percentile graphs, I evaluated each respondent´s weight based on their sex, height and age. According to the data in the weekly diet record I evaluated the intake of energy, protein, fats, carbohydrates, fiber and their drinking regime. Then I compared the gathered data with reference values for the given sex and age category. Furthermore, I compared the questionnaire answers to the diet record, which were continuously filled in by the respondents into the distributed forms. The research also evaluated regular physical activity, regular television watching and pc using. The gathered and evaluated data resulted in the fact that obese/overweight respondents take in too much energy and all macronutrients. The respondents with normal weight get optimal amount of energy, fats and carbohydrates. Protein intake is excessive even with the children with normal body weight. However, the average fiber intake is insufficient with all respondents. The overweight respondents´ drinking regime mostly consists of sweetened drinks; normal weight respondent's drinking regime mostly consists of non-sweetened drinks. The most significant problem of all overweight respondents was, therefore, excessive intake of sweetened drinks, higher intake of energy, protein, fats, carbohydrates and low intake of fiber. The lack of physical activity also plays a big role. Some respondents have regular physical activity only at school, which is twice a week. Children with physiological weight abide by recommended healthy eating habits more than overweight/obese children, who have significantly excessive intake of energy and individual nutrients, excessive consumption drinks consumption.
