Not Eating Enough: Overcoming Underconsumption of Military Operational Rations by Committee on Military Nutrition Research
National Academies Press | September 15, 1995 | English | ISBN: 0309053412 | 500 pages | CHM | 11 MB

Eating enough food to meet nutritional needs and maintain good health and good performance in all aspects of life–both at home and on the job–is important for all of us throughout our lives. For military personnel, however, this presents a special challenge. Although soldiers typically have a number of options for eating when stationed on a base, in the field during missions their meals come in the form of operational rations. Unfortunately, military personnel in training and field operations often do not eat their rations in the amounts needed to ensure that they meet their energy and nutrient requirements and consequently lose weight and potentially risk loss of effectiveness both in physical and cognitive performance. This book contains 20 chapters by military and nonmilitary scientists from such fields as food science, food marketing and engineering, nutrition, physiology, psychology, and various medical specialties. Although described within a context of military tasks, the committee's conclusions and recommendations have wide-reaching implications for people who find that job-related stress changes their eating habits.
