EFFECTS OF REPETITIVE EATING OF LIMITED GROUPS OF FOOD ITEMS ON FOOD ACCEPTANCE

Abstract

The effects of the type of menu planning, and the number of different foods on food preferences and consumption are discussed. Seventytwo volunteers were assigned randomly to three 24-day feeding treatments: (a) 3-day, preplanned, fixed-menu cycle, all meals in the same sequence; (b) 6-day, preplanned, fixedmenu cycle, same foods as above plus an approximately equal number of new foods; and (c) 3day cycle, same foods as (a) but, after first 3 days, men planned their own menus. The foods, mainly canned or dehydrated, were from military and commercial sources. Experimental items, including a high-protein beef drink, highcalorie, high-protein chocolate drink, and coffee drink, were also served. The over-all satisfaction with (b) and (c) was about equal and higher than with (a).
