[Dietary survey at the nursery of the Polytechnic University of Valencia]

This work gives a picture of the eating habits and nutritional state of children from the kindergarden of the Polytechnical University of Valencia. The data was obtained through a dietary survey and involved the weighing of foods as they were ingested. A high protein intake and a low intake of carbohydrate, iron, zinc, folic acid and vitamin D are observed. Proteins are mainly of animal origin owing to the high intake of dairy products, which on the other hand, are relatively poor in iron, zinc and folatos. The results obtained are similar in their main features to food tendencies observed in developed areas.
