餐厅是许多家庭的常规饮食环境。儿童对餐馆食物的消费与较差的饮食质量有关，促使新兴的研究探讨鼓励儿童在餐馆健康饮食的策略。虽然口味是餐馆膳食选择的主要决定因素，但缺乏考虑儿童对不同健康儿童膳食选择的口味的看法的研究。目前的研究试图通过客观的口味测试来检查儿童对快速服务餐厅（QSR）中更健康的儿童餐选择的喜好和偏好，并描述捆绑儿童餐的口味可接受性和与营养指南的一致性。37名4至8岁的儿童完成了10种健康主菜和配菜的口味测试。在孩子们品尝每种食物后，使用标准方法评估他们的喜欢和偏好。孩子们还报告了他们理想的儿童餐。结果显示，大多数儿童喜欢并偏爱三种主菜（火鸡三明治，鸡肉条，花生酱/香蕉三明治）和配菜（酸奶，苹果酱，西兰花），排名顺序因年龄组而略有不同。接受的食物被合并成11束符合营养标准。结果突出了更健康的儿童膳食，并有证据表明QSR中的儿童具有吸引力。研究结果可以为未来的研究提供信息，并可能增加这些环境中健康饮食干预的成功率。
Restaurants are regular eating environments for many families. Children’s consumption of restaurant foods has been linked with poorer diet quality, prompting emerging research examining strategies to encourage healthier eating among children in restaurants. Although taste is a primary determinant of restaurant meal choices, there is a lack of research considering children’s perspectives on the taste of different healthier kids’ meal options. The current study sought to examine, via objective taste testing, children’s liking of and preference for healthier kids’ meal options at a quick-service restaurant (QSR) and to describe bundled kids’ meals with evidence of both taste acceptability and consistency with nutrition guidelines. Thirty-seven 4-to-8-year-old children completed taste tests of ten healthier main and side dish options. Liking and preference were assessed using standard methods after children tasted each food. Children also reported their ideal kids’ meal. Results show the majority of children liked and preferred three main (turkey sandwich, chicken strips, peanut butter/banana sandwich) and side dishes (yogurt, applesauce, broccoli), with rank order differing slightly by age group. Accepted foods were combined into 11 bundles meeting nutritional criteria. Results highlight healthier kids’ meals with evidence of appeal among children in a QSR. Findings can inform future research and may increase the success of healthy eating interventions in these settings.
