The aim of the present study was to determine the actual daily dietary intake of zinc, copper, manganese and iron in daily meals. The mass amounts of this micronutrients were determined by flame atomic absorption techniques. The daily meals from public organised nutrition were collected using random sampling during 1998-1999. The energetic and nutritive quality of total diet and nutritive density of zinc, copper, iron and manganese were evaluated and compared with WHO/FAO recommendations.
