Unhealthy food consumption among adolescents is very common and is associated with several factors. In general, current food consumption patterns show a decreased frequency of natural foods and a high consumption of ultra-processed foods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dietary habits of adolescent females and to examine their association with nutritional status. A cross- sectional study with quantitative data collection was performed. The sample consisted of 61 girls, aged ≥ 10 and < 14 years, from 16 urban schools registered with the School Health Program (PSE) in Dourados (Mato Grosso do Sul). There was no difference in caloric intake between adolescents with different nutritional status classifications (p>0.05), nor did their eating habits differ (p>0.05). Thus, it was possible to observe that the adolescents evaluated had serious dietary errors, manifested by the ingestion of foods with a high degree of processing, as well as low calcium consumption and skipping breakfast. It is also noteworthy that the lack of difference in caloric intake among adolescents with different classifications of nutritional status may be related to underreporting of energy intake.
