This study was conducted to examine the effect of food education given to female university students in their 20s as a means of having them learn self-control at meal times by using a lunch sheet reminding them of “One soup and three side dishes” and Full-sized Model.
Three results were obtained:
Firstly, through the food frequency method, their post-education energy intake increased to 1821 kcal from their pre-education level of 1690 kcal (p=0.020). A significant increase in their post-education intake of the following nutrients was observed : lipid (p=0.031), carbohydrate (p=0.021) and vitaminB2 (p=0.018).
Secondly, in answer to one of our survey’s self-evaluation questions “Do you think what you eat is good?” 50.0% of the respondents said “Good” after this education, compared with only 16.7% who said so before the education (p=0.031).
Thirdly, in answer to a survey question on evaluating the lunch sheets, “Did you really use the lunch sheet?” about 40% of the respondents said “Not at all”.
In respect to the results, it is important to develop textbooks applicable to our daily eating habits, continue contriving effective dietary education programs and design a more usable lunch sheet for “one soup and three side dishes”.
