Energetic value, supply of basic nutrients (protein, fats and carbohydrates), anti-oxidative vitamins (A, E and C) and selected mineral ingredients (calcium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium) in daily dietary rations were established and applied to dietary standards on the level of safe consumption for women and men over 60 years old of average physical activity and determined body mass. The quantity analysis of decade menus showed that energetic value daily dietary rations was correct in both seasons.
