Abstract
We have been desired to eat delightfully and thought to spend our lives nicely that is the thought all through the ages. To live happily, we began to survey nutritious status of the patients at nursing and care ward. The survey indicated that 16 patients ate less than 70% of the meal, and the other 26 ate more than 70% of the served. Those 16 patients whose caloric intake was less than 1200 was determined as low eating patients, because 1200 caloric intake equivalent to basal metabolic ratio. Four patients could not increase their eating because of anorexia and too much quantity of the food. From this study, we registered, licensed dietitian should understand the patient's nutritious status and dish of favorites, temperature, variety, cooking, tasting etc. then serve foods after discussion with medical stuffs.
