11. 2 Analyses Lead by University of Montreal Breakfastclubcanada.org| BECOME A FAN : FACEBOOK.COM/BREAKFACTCLUBDEJEUNER Nutritional Analysis of the Club’s Menu in Nunavik Quantitative Analysis of Food Items by Food Group in 12 Aboriginal Programs

12. Nutritional Analysis of the Club’s Menu in Nunavik Breakfastclubcanada.org| BECOME A FAN : FACEBOOK.COM/BREAKFACTCLUBDEJEUNER Evaluation of the menu offered and alignment with the nutritional deficiencies of Nunavik population Enabled us to realize that we had to incorporate iron and vitamin D in the Nunavik menu

13. Quantitative Analysis of Food Items by Food Group in 12 Aboriginal Programs Breakfastclubcanada.org| BECOME A FAN : FACEBOOK.COM/BREAKFACTCLUBDEJEUNER Major differences remain with regards to food offers: programs with a mixed model provide a more complete breakfast Shortfalls weren’t due to the degree of remoteness: must examine overall consumption habits and need to define what is a complete breakfast Certain food choices are not optimal: more extensive nutrition training could be beneficial
