Summary

This observational study compares eating behaviors—such as picky eating, food neophobia, and texture preferences—between children with drug-resistant epilepsy who follow a ketogenic diet and healthy children. Researchers also measure body composition and resting metabolic rate in both groups. The goal is to identify eating challenges that may affect diet quality and nutritional status in children on the ketogenic diet.
