SIMPLIFIED DIET MANUAL WITH MEAL PATTERNS

Understanding meal patterns: definitions, methodology and impact on nutrient intake and diet quality

Traditionally, nutrition research has focused on individual nutrients, and more recently dietary patterns. However, there has been relatively little focus on dietary intake at the level of a 'meal'. The purpose of the present paper was to review the literature on adults' meal patterns, including how meal patterns have previously been defined and their associations with nutrient intakes and diet...

The use of cotton seed meal in broilers diet

Shared meals among young adults are associated with better diet quality and predicted by family meal patterns during adolescence.

OBJECTIVE To describe shared meal patterns and examine associations with dietary intake among young adults. DESIGN Population-based, longitudinal cohort study (Project EAT: Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults). SETTING Participants completed surveys and FFQ in high-school classrooms in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, USA in 1998-1999 (mean age = 15·0 years, 'adolescence') and follow-up ...

Simplified manual micromethod for determination of serum triglycerides.

This rapid, simplified assay for serum triglycerides is based on the use of a more effective solvent extraction procedure, ethoxide transesterification, and color development with acetylacetone. No phospholipid adsorption step is necessary. The procedure requires less than 0.2 ml of serum, no expensive or elaborate apparatus, and 5 to 10 values can be obtained per hour, with better precision th...

In vitro Evaluation of Different Substitution Levels of Soybean Meal by Guar Meal in a Fattening Diet for Lambs

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the replacement effect of soybean meal (SBM) at different levels (0 as D1, 33 as D2, 67 as D3 and 100% as D4 based on crude protein (CP) content) by guar meal (GM) on ruminal gas production kinetics, ruminal digestibility and fermentation characteristics of a fattening diet for lambs. Three experiments were conducted. The first experiment of 144-h in...
