Description
Summary:Introduction: The worker's program (PAT) aims to provide a nutritionally balanced diet for workers. Enabling better productivity and reducing work-related risks. Objective: To verify the adequacy of the nutritional composition of the menu of a Food and Nutrition Unit (UAN) with the recommendations of the PAT and the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI). Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional research with a quantitative descriptive approach in a UAN, with a fifteen-day analysis of the establishment's menu. The average values of calories, carbohydrates, proteins and lipids were compared with the PAT recommendations and with the RDI. Results: All mean calorie and nutrient values were significantly higher than recommended (p>0.05). It is noteworthy that the average value of protein is 44.24 grams more than the maximum recommended value, featuring an increase of 147.5% of the recommendation. About the RDI, it was noted that in all nutrients, the average values reached more than 50% of the RDI. The excess protein stands out, reaching 98.99% of the daily recommendation in a single meal. Conclusion: It was found that the analyzed menu is not adequate with the nutritional recommendations, with an imbalance of nutrients, which can affect the health of the worker. Key words: Food services. Nutritional recommendations. Worker's health. Introducao: O programa do trabalhador (PAT) visa proporcionar uma alimentacao nutricionalmente balanceada para os trabalhadores. Possibilitando melhor produtividade e reduzindo riscos relacionados ao trabalho. Objetivo: Verificar a adequacao da composicao nutricional do cardapio de uma Unidade de Alimentacao e Nutricao (UAN) com as recomendacoes do PAT e com a Ingestao Diaria Recomendada (IDR). Materiais e Metodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa com delineamento transversal e abordagem descritiva quantitativa em uma UAN, com analise de quinze dias do cardapio do estabelecimento. Foram comparados os valores medios de calorias, carboidratos, proteinas e lipidios com as recomendacoes do PAT e com a IDR. Resultados: Todos os valores medios de calorias e nutrientes foram significativamente maiores do que os recomendados (p>0,05). Destaca-se que o valor medio de proteina esta 44,24 gramas a mais do que o valor maximo recomendado, caracterizando um acrescimo de 147,5% da recomendacao. Sobre a IDR, notou-se que em todos os nutrientes, os valores medios atingiram mais de 50% da IDR. Destaca-se o excesso de proteina, atingindo 98,99% da recomendacao diaria em uma unica refeicao. Conclusao: Constatou-se que o cardapio analisado nao esta adequado com as recomendacoes nutricionais, havendo desequilibrio de nutrientes, o que pode afetar a saude do trabalhador. Palavras-chave: Servicos de alimentacao. Recomendacoes nutricionais. Saude do trabalhador.
