Introduction Around the world, adults consume energy outside of traditional meals such as breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, because there is no consistent definition of a “snack,” it is unclear whether those extra eating occasions represent additional meals or snacks. The manner in which an eating occasion is labeled (e.g., as a meal or a snack) influence other food choices an individual makes on the same day and satiety after consumption (Hess, Jonnalagadda & Slavin 2016).
By definition, a snack is a small portion of food that is smaller than a regular meal, generally consumed between meals. Snacks are defined as smaller, less structured meal that are not eaten during regular meal times, such as breakfast (morning), lunch (midday), and dinner (evening). Snacks come in a variety of forms including fresh ingredients and packaged and processed foods (Tumuluru, 2016).
Eating out is always an enjoyable treat. But as this can be one of the biggest drains on your finances and again, if you can't do without your fill, our guide to saving money on takeaways can at least help you spend less, and also Bring your own snacks from home. Prepare snacks like fruit, nuts, or granola bars in advance to avoid buying expensive snacks on the go.
Review Related of literature
Students in my third-grade class often complained about being hungry, not having a snack, and requesting a snack from me. At times, being hungry prevented them from focusing in class and completing activities. This led to the purpose of this study is to explore the ways that providing a nutritious snack to my students during the school day shapes their engagement and learning. For two weeks, this study used focus groups, observations, and document collection as data collection methods to explore the ways providing snacks to my students during the school day shapes their engagement and learning (Cervantes, 2022). Snacking, defined as the intake of foodstuffs between main meals, is among the main sources of calorie intake. It accounts for around of the total calorie consumed daily by Iranian school students. Around noontime, students, even those who eat breakfast, feel hungry and thus, lose concentration; therefore, an appropriate snack at this time can promote their concentration and learning. Snacks should be chosen not only based on students’ interests and preferences, but also on their nutritional needs. Moreover, snacks should not affect their appetite for the main meals. Healthy snacks may include fresh fruits and vegetables, natural fruit juices, nuts (such as walnut, hazelnut, pistachio, and almond), and simple biscuits (Bastami, Zamane, & Mostafavi, 2019).
Due to limited allowance, students buy food primarily because it is cheap and delicious. The nutrient contents of the food are the least that they consider. This study proposes snack item that will meet the buying capacity of the students at the same time meeting the nutritional and palatability value of the food. In order to do this, a linear programming diet model is used to develop a model recipe for snacks that would meet the energy requirement for the growing up years of adolescents. This study involved 1364 adolescent participants from various public high schools of East II District of Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines in order to examine the sources of income of their parents, daily allowance allotted for their snacks in school, their prevalent food choices and the reasons for such food choice (Namoco, 2015).
Results revealed that consumers expected a healthy snack to contain low levels of calories, fat, salt and sugar, and to contain high levels of whole‐grain, oats, bran, nuts, seeds, pulses and fruit, e.g. blueberries, cranberries, gogi berries. Additionally, healthy snacks were required to be free from any artificial colours, sweeteners and flavours. Major factors encouraging healthy snack consumption included reduced risk of weight gain, diabetes, heart burn and bloating. Conversely, perceived taste, portion size, the lack of available convenient nutritional snacks, accessibility and confusion over the credibility of the “healthy product” tag were the main factors preventing healthy consumption in the adult population examined. Consumers expressed a desire for a wider choice of filling snacks with specific health benefits for a variety of usage occasions, particularly those with associated health claims such as “high fibre”, “omega 3 for mental health” and “reduces cholesterol”. (Crofton et al. 2013). Snacking, defined as the intake of foodstuffs between main meals, is among the main sources of calorie intake. It accounts for around 40% of the total calorie consumed daily by Iranian school students. Around noontime, students, even those who eat breakfast, feel hungry and thus, lose concentration; therefore, an appropriate snack at this time can promote their concentration and learning. (Bastami et al, 2019).
Snacks should be chosen not only based on students’ interests and preferences, but also on their nutritional needs. Moreover, snacks should not affect their appetite for the main meals. Healthy snacks may include fresh fruits and vegetables, natural fruit juices, nuts (such as walnut, hazelnut, pistachio, and almond), and simple biscuits. (Bastami et al, 2019).
Studies in different areas of the world reported unhealthy snacking among students. For instance, a study in Poland found potato chips as the most commonly used non-nutritious snack among students. Moreover, the most commonly used snacks among American adolescents were candies, carbonated drinks, sweet drinks, and high-salt snacks. Studies in Iran also reported that children and adolescents eat unhealthy snacks. A systematic review in Iran also reported that the most commonly used unhealthy snacks in urban and rural areas were candies (30.8 and 33.2%), carbonated drinks (21.5 and 27.2%), and cheese puffs and potato chips (20.3 and 25.8%), respectively. Consumption of unhealthy snacks can bring children and adolescents different health problems such as obesity, dental caries, and chronic illnesses. Moreover, consumption of these snacks during childhood and adolescence puts them at risk for developing health problems in adulthood such as cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. (Bastami et al, 2019).
Another finding is that no significant correlation exists between students’ inclination for purchasing from school buffets and the independent variables including the city where the student’s study, gender, parents' jobs, and the pocket money. It was also found that the students' evaluation of the school buffet, their grade, important others (parents, teachers and friends) expectations and approval contribute to the student’s tendency for buying from school buffets. (Foroughzadeh, 2013). Conceptual Framework
