Abstract
A questionnaire survey of food preference on daily meals was conducted for 80 second-year students who belong to Life Science Department of Women's Junior College in Tokyo. For the intake of foods, oil and fat were the highest used and soybeans or soybean products were the lowest. 15% students earned a bad score who were judged to be completely “out of health” and 36% were needed to be further refined by scoring the above results. While only 3% were “good health” and 46% were neither good nor bad. The various kind of beverage was used from once to ten times a day by 87% students and the tea was the most. 50% of students live on rice; bakery products were used by 33% and 17% students used noodles. “Gaisyoku (eat-out food)” was used once a day by 27% students and two or three times a week by about 70%. “Nakasyoku (takeout foods such as rice balls, packed lunches, bakery products and instant foods, say a Chinese noodle soup served in a disposable paper or plastic bowl)” was used once or twice by over 60% students every day. The result of this survey showed some important contents about eating daily meals of girl students, and that gave valuable advice to our teaching of health and foods in Women's Junior College.
