In field surveys in 13 schools in different regions of Saudi-Arabia, energy expenditure, food consumption, and nutrient intake were studied. Cereal products, especially bread, have the greatest significance in nutrition. Many students do not eat other foodstuffs regularly. A certain dependency of food consumption from the region was found in regard to the schools. The frequency of foodstuffs was generally low, but lowest in remote villages. In some age groups, the sufficient energy intake leaves much to be desired, 70 % do not reach recommended dietary allowances of animal protein and 100 % in fat. Intake of carbohydrates was too high, while intake of linoleic acid, minerals and vitamins is too low of nearly all test persons. To secure regularly a sufficient intake of essential nutrients, a school lunch program for the Saudi-Arabian boys is to be recommended.
在沙特阿拉伯不同地区的13所学校进行的实地调查中，对能量消耗、食物消费和营养摄入进行了研究。谷物产品，尤其是面包，在营养方面具有最重要的意义。许多学生不经常食用其他食品。在学校方面，发现食物消费与地区存在一定的相关性。食品的食用频率普遍较低，但在偏远村庄最低。在一些年龄组中，能量摄入充足程度仍有很大欠缺，70%的人未达到动物蛋白的推荐膳食摄入量，100%的人未达到脂肪的推荐膳食摄入量。几乎所有受测者的碳水化合物摄入量过高，而亚油酸、矿物质和维生素的摄入量过低。为了确保定期获得足够的必需营养素，建议为沙特阿拉伯男孩制定学校午餐计划。
