Dietary intake was evaluated using a food frequency questionnaire. Descrip… Show more

“…In this study, it was noted that the participants presented a diet intake below the recommendations for total energetic value, micronutrients and food fibers, and above the recommendations for macronutrients, demonstrating feeding standards similar to the Brazilian population (5) in the ingestion of carbohydrates and proteins, but with deficient food quality (8,11).
