Four dietary patterns were recorded: traditional Brazilian pattern, snacks pattern, fast-food pattern, and the milk, fruit and cereal breakfast patterm. Higher adherence to snacks and fast-food patterns, the higher the chances of becoming overweight.

The Revised Brazilian Healthy Eating Index scores increased with age and education level. Females consumed more vegetables, fruits, and milk, and less sodium, meat and eggs, oils, saturated and solid fats, alcohol, and added sugars than males. Scores for whole grains, vegetables, and fruits also increased with age and education level.

Most of adolescents did not follow the good group recommendations (i.e., below the recommendations for fruit and vegetables, and above the recommendations for oils/fats and sugars/sweets) and those who where physically active (≥ 300 min/week) have healthier food habits.
