This work is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out in 5 public schools in the municipalities of Cuiabá and Várzea Grande-MT, in order to evaluate the relationship between school feeding adherence and students' eating habits. The study population consisted of 120 students aged 13 to 16 years old, of both sexes attending the 9th year of elementary school. Food intake data were collected through a questionnaire, estimating the intake of the last 24 hours. Epi-Info version 3.5.4 was used to tabulate and analyze the data. The Chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of the studied variables. The results showed that 51.2% of students enjoy the school's nutrition and only 1.2% said they did not like it. Among meals, the highest percentage of schoolchildren reported consuming mainly lunch (95.8%) and dinner (91.7%). We analyzed the healthy and unhealthy foods consumed the previous day by each group. Among the healthy foods, the most consumed were rice, beans, meats in general and bread and among the unhealthy foods the most consumed were biscuits and cakes, lollipops, candies, chewing gums and sweetened drinks. There was no difference in the intake of unhealthy foods among young people who routinely consumed school meals and those who did not consume. Among the healthy foods, there was a trend towards greater consumption in the group that adhered to school feeding, and milk was more ingested by this group.
