	Assesment of the energy and basic nutrients intake with daily diets by of residents of chosen orphanages located in Krakow

	The aim of this study was to assess the intake of energy, proteins, fat, carbohydrates and fiber by residents of selected orphanages in Krakow.

	Intake of basic nutrients and dietary fiber was performed based on chemical analysis of the daily diets, collected for four days of week (including Sunday and Friday, due to the different nutritional habits). Chemical analysis included determination of selected nutrients: proteins, fat and fiber. Digestible carbohydrate content and energy values were calculated using the appropriate formulas.

	Assessment of dietary intake indicated numerous nutritional mistakes such as low supply of energy, carbohydrates, fat and fiber. Daily diets of children had an excessive amount of protein, (5-times more).

	Increasing the intake of total fat, whit the proper amount of Essential Fatty Acids, would create the possibility to compensate energy deficit, observed in this study. Similarly, diets rich in carbohydrates, particularly complex (slowly digestible starch), would allow to cover the daily requirements for these compounds, fiber and energy.
