   It was found in the ten years survey on nutritional condition of the global population that
the obesity rate was 8.2% increasing in every group of people. In United States, 50% of
the adults were overweight and roughly half amount was obese. However, the rate of
obesity increases varied to ages, especially in women (body mass index >30.0 kg./sq.m.)
. Obesity causes various diseases; blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and etc.

   In general, control of weight could be managed by limitation of calories gained from food.
Thai food is appropriate for weight control because the consumption pattern is in set.
Since there are more than one dish, thus, consumers can get all main food substances; meat,
rice, carbohydrate, vegetables, fruits and fat. Moreover, Thai food is composed of herbs and
spices which are acceptable for good health. Actually, single food could not provide enough
substances to consumption needs. Weight control is depended on the level of food calories
that provide suitable energy. Hence, the set menu was designed to provide not more than
1,600 Kcal per day which is appropriate to both young and adults. It was also good for
people who want to control weight by using the exchange list according to nutritional principle
to calculate the calories generated and amount of food from each group per meal. In each
meal, the calories gained will be one in three needed per day or roughly 400-500 Kcal per
meal. The calories are generated from carbohydrate 50-60%, from protein 15-20% and from
fat 20-30%.
