“…Despite data on specific food consumed was not available, there is evidence from literature that meals consumed in restaurant, take away, or fast food are generally higher in energy, including abundance in free/added sugars and fats, and lower in fiber and protein [55]. Moreover, food consumed out of home has been reported to be served in large portions and be consumed in company, which is a social facilitator of food intake [56]. Considering the rising trends in out-of-home eating, the interest from the public health sector is mandatory to monitor future generations and assess quality of food services.…”

BACKGROUND:Recently eating habits, such as breakfast, snaking, and out-of-home meals, have been shown to influence metabolic health of general population. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to explore the association between meal habits and metabolic status in Southern Italian adults. METHODS: Data from the Mediterranean healthy Eating, Aging and Lifestyle study was used, including a total of 1952 subjects. RESULTS: Individuals having type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemias, and hypertension were more likely to adhere to a diet characterized by skipping breakfast, having unhealthy snacks and having out-of-home meals. Having breakfast was associated with higher odds of having dyslipidemias (OR = 2.71, 95% CI: 1.74, 4.23); having snacks was associated with higher odds of being obese (OR = 2.09, 95% CI: 1.42, 3.09); and having out-of-home meals was associated with higher odds of having dyslipidemias (OR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.03, 2.32) and hypertension (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.18, 2.21). CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study indicate that eating habits may be associated with metabolic status in adults living in the Mediterranean area.

“…Therefore, it can be assumed that such diet closely governs their food purchases and preparations; that is, the chef will value those suppliers who offer products with characteristics of the Mediterranean diet, both in designation of origin (grown in the region) and labels associated with the Mediterranean brand. Also, traditional products such as paella, vegetables, fresh salads, fish, seafood, gazpacho and broths are considered to be elaborate dishes representative of the Mediterranean diet with great demand and acceptance by consumers (Díaz- Méndez & García-Espejo, 2016). …”

“…Faced with this situation, the influence of the Mediterranean food can prevail (Díaz-Méndez & García-Espejo, 2016) because culture establishes social norms, individual needs, motivations and consumer values (Petruzzellis & Craig, 2016). The consumer is then more sensitive to the cultural characteristics of foods (Cannon, 2005).…”

This article studies the importance of the Mediterranean diet in the menus of restaurants in the city of Barcelona. It is based on a review of previous studies about the great influence of the Mediterranean culture on daily aspects such as food. A qualitative study was conducted and a sample of experts—head chefs at restaurants in Barcelona—was selected. The results show that the Mediterranean diet is positioned in the minds of their customers; therefore, all the decisions related to the purchase of products and the planning of menus and dishes are made following the guidelines of the Mediterranean diet. This study is an important contribution to the research field of culture in consumption habits, because it confirms that the Mediterranean diet still is strongly preferred over new foods, dishes and foreign menus. The habits of consumers remain true to their culinary traditions.

“…Comer fuera de casa durante la semana presenta una explicación totalmente diferente al predominar motivos relacionados con el horario de trabajo en el 39 % de los casos Díaz-Méndez y García Espejo, 2017). Ahora bien, es una obligatoriedad que convive con un porcentaje inferior (33 %) que aluden a motivos lúdicos entre los que se citan 'como parte del ocio' (20 %) o 'para relacionarse con otros' (13 %).…”

“…(Figura 2) la mayor parte de los entrevistados destacan motivos relacionados con el ocio al observar los elevados porcentajes de la categoría 'por encontrarse con familiares/amigos-as; como ya han señalado expertos que consideran que (para los españoles) "comer es un asunto marcado por la sociabilidad" (Díaz Méndez y García 2017;Díaz Méndez, 2013;Díaz Méndez, 2014), donde el aumento de la comodidad convive con la aportación de una imagen social (Martin Cerdeño, 2009).…”

RESUMENEn este trabajo se analiza la frecuencia de comidas fuera del hogar realizadas por los españoles, considerando la situación dónde tienen lugar (restaurantes, casas de amigos o comida traída de casa) y los motivos por los cuales se produce esta conducta, utilizando para ello un estudio del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas. Un análisis de clasificación sobre las puntuaciones factoriales de un análisis de correspondencias múltiples localiza cuatro tipos con diferente presencia en la sociedad española: El primero, que agrupa al 58 % de la población española, alude a motivos relacionados con la sociabilidad. En el resto de tipos la comida fuera del hogar se explica por el hecho de no cocinar (20 % de la población) y obligaciones profesionales (14 %). Un 8 % de la sociedad alude a otros motivos diferentes a los disponibles en las preguntas utilizadas.Palabras clave: Pautas de consumo, consumo alimentario, consumo alimentario extra-doméstico, análisis de correspondencias múltiples, análisis de conglomerados.
