本研究的目的是确定儿童在托儿中心食用的食物是否符合针对 2 至 5 岁儿童的新 MyPyramid 食物组建议。对20个托儿所的117名儿童进行饮食观察。在整个北卡罗来纳州的中心进行了研究。使用营养数据研究系统 (NDS-R) 软件（2005 版，明尼苏达大学营养协调中心，明尼阿波利斯）观察和评估儿童食用的食物类型和数量。然后将份量大小与新的 MyPyramid 食物组建议进行比较，看看是否消耗了建议量的 1/2 至 2/3（全日托儿时间）。平均而言，在五种主要食物类别中，儿童只消耗了推荐牛奶的 1/2 至 2/3。儿童的全谷物摄入量还不到 MyPyramid 建议的 13%，深色蔬菜的摄入量也低于 MyPyramid 建议的 7%。另外值得注意的是，消耗的牛奶中有 50% 是全脂牛奶，消耗的肉类中有 75% 是高脂肪或油炸品种。总体而言，我们的数据表明，儿童在接受全日制托儿服务时并未摄入建议量的全谷物、水果（不包括 100% 果汁）或蔬菜，而是摄入了过量的饱和脂肪和添加糖。
The purpose of this study was to determine whether food consumed by children while in center-based child care meets the new MyPyramid food group recommendations for children 2 to 5 years of age. Dietary observation of 117 children from 20 child-care. centers throughout North Carolina was conducted. The type and amount of food served to and consumed by children was observed and assessed using Nutrition Data System for Research (NDS-R) software (version 2005, Nutrition Coordinating Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis). Portion sizes were then compared to the new MyPyramid food group recommendations to see whether 1/2 to 2/3 (for time spent in full-day child care) of the recommended amounts were consumed. On average, of the five main food groups, children consumed only the 1/2 to 2/3 recommendation for milk. Children also consumed less than 13% of MyPyramid recommendations for whole grains and 7% of MyPyramid recommendations for dark vegetables. Also noteworthy, 50% of milk consumed was whole milk and 75% of the meat consumed was of the high-fat or fried variety. Overall, our data suggest that children are not consuming recommended amounts of whole grains, fruits (excluding 100% fruit juice), or vegetables while attending full-time child care, and are consuming excess amounts of saturated fat and added sugar.
