Information pertaining to socio economic status, anthropometric measurement, clinical profile and dietary pattern was collected using interview schedule. Energy costs of the activities were also collected. Information on the dietary nutrient intake was collected using 3-day dietary recall method. Anthropometric measurements namely height, weight, BMI and waist hip ratio were analyzed using standard procedures. Data was statistically analyzed. Results show that a greater percentage of the selected adult men were involved in moderate activity and belonged in middle income group. The educational qualification showed that 66% have completed school. The greater percentages of the selected subjects were from nuclear family. Most of the subjects were of normal height when compared with reference value. BMI revealed that forty nine percent were normal, 30% were overweight and 21% were obesity. Most of the selected subjects had WHR greater than 1. The food habits showed that majority of them were non vegetarians. Consumption of green leafy vegetables and fruits was less. On the contrary rice, wheat, red gram dhal were consumed daily. Most of the selected subjects mean nutrient intake was deficit when compared to RDA. The results of energy balance study showed that mean positive energy balance was 2098.2±90 kcal in the selected subjects. Nutrition education was given by power point, charts, pamphlets and a low energy snack was formulated and demonstrated used in the nutrition education programme. Results of paired t-test done shows that the nutrition education was effective (t = 3.84) and helped in improving the nutrition knowledge. The formulated product contains high amount of fibre. There is a need for educating these subjects on the right type and quantity of foods, higher intake of fibre rich foods, as well as the importance of regular physical activity to combat obesity.

It contains micronutrients and other phytochemicals such as carotenoids. Moringa seeds are an excellent source of vitamin B6, C, Provit A such as beta-carotene, magnesium and protein among other nutrients. This study aimed to develop Moringa seed powder incorporated with an Indian savoury snack (Karasev), analyze its nutrients, and evaluate the shelf life of the products. In this study, Moringa seed powder was incorporated with the Indian savoury snack (Karasev), and four varieties (10,20,30, and 40%) and their sensory properties were tested. Protein and calcium nutrient analyses were performed. Additional shelf-life research was conducted for one month on nutrient and microbial analysis. Moringa seed powder incorporated in Indian savoury snack (Karasev) (10 %) is acceptable for organoleptic studies. Incorporated products contain more protein and calcium than standard products. The selected product wa...
