Summary: | Offering a balanced diet in food and nutrition units (FNU) is essential for health promotion. However, having a nutritionally adequate menu is not enough; its preparations must be attractive to diners and well accepted. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the consumption of protein preparations served to diners at a hospital FNU. For this, a descriptive exploratory study was carried out in a hospital FNU in the city of Maceio, Alagoas. The protein preparations served in the cafeteria were weighed for 15 days, at lunchtime, before opening, and after closing. Based on these data, the weight and percentage of consumption and leftovers of protein preparations were found. A descriptive analysis of the variables was carried out. The FNU produced an average of 32 kg of protein preparations daily. The highest percentage of leftovers was 30.2% (day 5) and the lowest percentage was 5.5 (day 11). Among the most consumed protein preparations, with 100% of its consumption, were plated chicken, beef stroganoff, meat parmigiana, sun-dried meat, and meat pancake. Those with the highest percentage of leftovers were soy at 100%, egg at 75.1%, and meat in Madeira sauce at 63.8%. It was concluded that only 3 preparations had a higher percentage of leftovers, which are the least consumed. This study was important for contributing data that help in better planning the production of protein preparations that have greater acceptability. Key words: Food Services. Garbage. Eating. A oferta de uma alimentacao balanceada em unidades de alimentacao e nutricao (UAN) e fundamental para promocao da saude. No entanto, ter um cardapio adequado nutricionalmente nao e o suficiente; e preciso que as preparacoes deste sejam atraentes para os comensais e bem aceitas. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi o de avaliar o consumo das preparacoes proteicas servidas aos comensais de uma UAN hospitalar. Foi realizado para isso um estudo do tipo descritivo exploratorio em uma UAN hospitalar do municipio de Maceio, Alagoas. Foram realizados 15 dias de pesagem das preparacoes proteicas servidas no refeitorio, no horario do almopo, antes de sua abertura e apos seu fechamento. A partir desses dados, encontrou-se o peso e o percentual de consumo e sobra das preparacoes proteicas. Realizou-se analise descritiva das variaveis. A UAN produziu diariamente em media 32 Kg de preparacoes proteicas. O percentual mais elevado de sobras foi de 30,2% (dia 5) e o menor percentual foi de 5,5 (dia 11). Dentre as preparacoes proteicas as mais consumidas, com 100% de seu consumo, foram frango chapeado, estrogonofe de carne, carne a parmegiana, carne do sol e panqueca de carne. Ja as com percentual de sobra mais elevados foram soja com 100%, ovo com 75,1%, carne ao molho madeira com 63,8%. Concluiu-se que apenas 3 preparacoes tiveram um percentual de sobras mais elevadas, sendo estas as menos consumidas. Este estudo foi importante por contribuir com dados que auxiliem em um melhor planejamento da producao das preparacoes proteicas que tenham maior aceitabilidade.
