“…Equally, it was related to improved health, depicted in the present study by the decrease of LDL-c [37][38][39]. The association between the frequency of daily meals and nutritional outcomes showed that having less than 4 meals per day was directly linked with increased BMI and LDL-c [8]. Skipping meals can expose the adolescent not only to inadequate food replacements, but may also contribute to faltering satiety, causing greater intake in the next meal and giving rise to glycaemic and insulin peaks as a response to greater secretion of lipoproteins [39,40].…”

“…The intermediate per capita income was also associated with a decrease in LDL-c compared to a lower income, but not compared to higher. Income is one of the factors determining diversity of the diet and the number of meals; particularly, it has an effect on the intake of fruits, vegetables and beans and also on the increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods, aggravating the lipid profile and chronic non-communicable diseases [8,14,33]. The time-based analysis of four national household surveys (POF 1987-1988, POF 1995-1996, POF 2002and POF 2008-2009 showed an increase in the participation of ready-to-eat products across all income strata, but especially among those with lower income [2].…”

“…Several factors can interfere with adolescent food consumption: political and commercial factors, income, social and family norms, media influence, longer periods away from home and physical activity, among others [3,[6][7][8]. Regardless of the consecutive analysis indicating a change in diet patterns and an increase in consumption of ultra-processed foods that are replacing home cooked meals, the Brazilian population, adolescents included, regularly consume beans [2,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Brazilian adolescents have undergone a noteworthy nutritional epidemiological transition. There is an increase in the prevalence of overweight and high consumption of ultra-processed foods in parallel with patterns of traditional meals that include beans. This study analyzed associations between bean consumption in the diet of adolescents and nutrition outcomes. Multiple regression analysis showed a significant reduction in body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (%BF) and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) values among those with bean consumption equal to or greater than five times a week. Adolescents who had lunch outside the home and those who did not have the habit of having lunch showed a significantly higher BMI. There was an increase in the %BF among married adolescents and those who did not have lunch. There was a reduction of LDL-c among those with intermediate per capita income and those who consumed processed juice less than 5 times a week, and an increase among those who did not have breakfast. There were significant interactions between sexual maturation, energy consumption, physical activity and energy consumption. Thus, in the context of this study, the presence of beans in the diet, at frequencies equal to or greater than five times a week, can be considered a proxy for healthy eating.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the studies that identified the frequency of meals ingested by Brazilian adolescents and associated habits. Data sources: A systematic search was made in the databases and electronic databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, The Latin American and Caribbean Center of Information in Health Sciences (BIREME), Scopus, Web of Science and Embase, with articles published between January/2007 until December/2017, which addressed the evaluation of the frequency of meals performed by adolescents, considering or not associations with eating patterns and meal replacement. Data synthesis: 6,608 studies were obtained through the search and nine were included in this review, all of them with a cross-sectional design. Eight studies used school surveys and only one was a population survey. Seven studies evaluated the frequency of the main daily meals that ranged from 47.0 to 79.0% at breakfast, from 65.0 to 98.4% at lunch, and from 51.0 to 94.0% at dinner. Five studies identified the frequencies of consumption of snacks between meals, finding higher values for afternoon snack (variation from 42.0 to 78.0%). Regarding the substitution of meals for snacks, in three of the four selected studies; it was observed that this practice occurred mainly in substitution of dinner (24.6 to 42.0%). Conclusions: Breakfast was the most omitted meal for adolescents, and dinner was replaced with snacks. Among the between meal snacks, the afternoon snack was the most consumed.
