Diet therapy is essential for hospitalized patients. This study aimed to evaluate the acceptability of lunchmeals in patientswho received diet for diabetes mellitus (DM) and to verify aspects that may interfere with this consumption, such as seasons. This is a quantitative, descriptive study. The consumption of lunchmeal in patientswho received dietary DM in summer and a winter period in 2019 was evaluated. The data were verified in absolute frequencies, percentages, means, and the statistical test was the logistic regression with the association data at a 95% significance level (p <0.05) using the SPSS® 18.0 software. Two inpatient units were selected, with a sample of 49 individuals (63.3% males). Out of the 115 lunchmeals served, 55.7% were partially consumed or not consumed. The plate waste for the lunchmeals showed a mean per capita of 64.15 g (intake of 310.89g) in the summer and of 135.99g (intake of 248.12g) in winter. The menu pattern was similar for both seasons. It was found p <0.05 in relation to the season in the association of univariable odds ratio. This typo of research is important to assist in the patient's prognosis. (AU)
