Abstract

This study aims to check the intake leftovers of vegetables served to public school students before and after a Nutritional Intervention. It is an intervention study focused on evaluating the consumption of vegetables in five public schools in Carapicuíba, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The participants were 5630 students from elementary school, aged between 6 and 10 years old. Food preparation and distribution of foods served as school meals were accompanied. The best results of ingestion leftovers after the nutritional intervention in the morning and afternoon were obtained in school 3, followed by school 5.  Ingestion leftovers was reduced in most schools in both periods, including an increase in the portions offered in some schools after the nutritional intervention.
