Abstract

Adolescent girls are at higher risk of anemia due to menstrual cycle, with iron deficiency from daily food intake being the most common cause. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of fried meatballs modified with a combination of local ingredients, such as chicken liver flour, moringa oleifera leaves, soybean tempeh flour, and mackerel fish, abbreviated as Tioek chips, on changes in haemoglobin levels on adolescent girls in Kupang City and Kupang Regency. The results show that foods modified with nutritious local ingredients such as Tioek chips can be classified as an affordable and delicious alternative to healthy snacks to prevent anemia.
