Methods: Cross-sectional study aiming at assessing food consumption using the straight weighing method during three non-consecutive days. Nutrition values were achieved using Professional DietWin software. Diet adequacy was calculated using the following parameters: Estimated Energy Requirement – EER for energy; Estimated Average Requirement – EAR for protein, iron, vitamins C and A; Adequate Intake – AI for calcium since there is no EAR for this nutrient. Data were doubled entered, validated and analyzed using Epi Info. Results: Food consumption mean for the eight daycare centers has demonstrated that nutrients analyzed were inadequate for energy with deficits of iron and calcium, and excess of proteins, vitamins A and C. Distribution of adequacy percentuals for macronutrients showed inadequacy for lipids. Conclusion: The results allow the conclusion that the daily nutrition reccomendations for energy, iron and calcium were not attended while for protein , vitamin C and vitamin A reccomendations were exceded which reflects the necessity of critical assessment of São Paulo preschool food program.
