Adolescence represents a phase of transition between childhood and adult life, marked by significant changes in the biological, psychological and social dimensions1. This period is extremely important for the adolescents to choose a healthy lifestyle, as it is when habits and attitudes are established, including eating habits.

Monitoring the quality of the foods consumed during childhood and adolescence is important as little is known about the factors that promote changes in the eating behaviour and as fasting, irregular and restricted diets, compulsive or frequent consumption of highly energetic foods, rich in sugar and fat are frequent to replace healthy food during this food. These practices are the main factors responsible for the current epidemiological situation of overweight, obesity, nutritional deficiencies, non-transmissible chronic illnesses and risk behaviours for eating disorders during childhood and adolescence.
They need to eat healthy food as adolescence as it the time period that connects childhood and Adulthood, the food that they eat during this time period determines their health during adulthood.
