- Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the nutritional profile and characteristics of food served to adolescents in compliance with socio-educational measures. Method: quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive research. Adolescents aged 13 to 19 years and 11 months were surveyed. Results: it was observed that 48.3% of the adolescents were in the range of 16 to 17 years and came from Teresina, Piauí. The majority were classified as eutrophic according to body mass index (74.6%), arm circumference (83%) and height / age (91.5%). The evaluation of the quality of the diet showed that energy (107.5%) and lipids (101.9%) were within the recommended range, but the diet was inadequate for all micronutrients. The energy density (1.7 kcal / g) and NDpCal% (8.11%) were adequate. Thus, the study shows that greater care should be taken with the diet served to adolescents, since it presented many inadequacies. Conclusion: the evaluation of food served to adolescents in compliance with socio-educational measures showed inadequacies in relation to micronutrients. Thus, greater care should be taken in planning the food served to adolescents.
