title: [Energy and nutrients content in planned for consumption dietary rations of old people's home dwellers in Cracov].
abstract: The aim of the research was to evaluate collective feeding way ofelderlypeople on the base of decade menus introduced in winter and summer seasons in Old People's Home in Cracov. Energetic value, supply of basic nutrients (protein, fats and carbohydrates), anti-oxidative vitamins (A, E and C) and selected mineral ingredients (calcium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium) in daily dietary rations were established and applied to dietary standards on the level of safe consumption for women and men over 60 years old of average physical activity and determined body mass. The quantity analysis of decade menus showed that energetic value daily dietary rations was correct in both seasons. Lack of balance was found in case of ingredients, protein consumption was excessive, fat supply over normative and its content in overall calorific dietary rations somewhat above normal. High content of vitamins A and E in winter menus was also shown and supply of almost all selected mineral ingredients exceeded standards of safe consumption.
