Objective: To identify the perception of nutritionists about their professional performance in the context of overvaluing the lean and sculptural body. Method: A qualitative cross-sectional study was carried out by nutritionists from Itajubá- MG. All were over 18 and active in the profession. The sample was determined from 12 nutricionists, enough to reach saturation (Field Methods). For data collection, a sociodemographic questionnaire and non-directed interviews were used, which were recorded and transcribed for later analysis according to the Bardin Content Analysis Methodology. Results: 92% of the participants were female. Five central themes were related to nutritionists' perception of their professional performance in the context of overvaluing the lean and sculptural body: 1. Nutrition and aesthetics; 2. The impact of restrictive diets; 3. Search for the perfect body; 4. Difficulties at work as a nutritionist; 5. Health as well as physical, mental and socialwell-being. Conclusion: It was possible to identify a negative perception of the impacts caused by the modern ideal of a lean and sculptural body in the professional performance of the nutritionist.
