Abstract

The Free Healthy Meals (MBG) program in elementary schools is an effort to improve the nutritional status and healthy eating habits of school-aged children. This study aims to describe students' acceptance of MBG at SD 50, Ternate City, based on their preferences and food waste. The study used a quantitative descriptive design involving 45 students as respondents. Acceptance data were obtained through visual observation of food waste, which was categorized as <20%, 20–40%, and >40%, then classified into two categories: like and dislike. The results showed that the majority of students left food waste in the low category (<20%), amounting to 32 students (71.1%). Based on the preference grouping, 32 students (71.1%) were categorized as like, while 13 students (28.9%) were categorized as dislike. These findings indicate that the acceptance of MBG among students at SD 50, Ternate City, is good. The results of this study can serve as a basis for school and program administrators to evaluate and develop menus to increase student acceptance of MBG.
