2020, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :The plate waste from each tray, including beverages, was weighed and recorded after the meal was consumed using an ‘aggregated plate waste’(Williams 2011) approach. We have used the difference between the standard weights and post-delivery weight to determine intake, adapting the method used by other food waste researchers (Barton 2000). Data for all phases were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS V24 (IBM. 2012).

2019, Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and DieteticsProtein and energy intake improved by in-between meals: An intervention study in hospitalized patients
2019, Clinical Nutrition ESPENCitation Excerpt :While energy-intake during in-between meals increased, this study however did not show any difference in overall daily intake of energy and protein [13]. An explanation could be the lack of fortification of food items towards the right level of energy and protein required for in-between meals [20,21]. Another explanation could be, that the meals were not pre-tested in this specific population, with focus on patient wishes, portion size and satiety, so that the patients would still eat at the next main meal.
