O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a frequência de adesão aos “10 Passos para uma Alimentação Saudável” do Ministério da Saúde, em adolescentes de escolas de Ensino médio de Pelotas/ RS. Foi realizado um estudo transversal de base escolar, incluindo 1233 adolescentes de 13 a 19 anos. A frequência de cada passo foi coletada através de um questionário de frequência de consumo de alguns alimentos e outros aspectos contidos nos “10 Passos”. A média de passos alcançados foi de 1,8. Ressalta-se que nenhum adolescente aderiu a todos os passos recomendados A maior frequência de adesão foi encontrada no passo 4, referente ao consumo de arroz e feijão; e menores frequência de adesão nos passos 7, referentes ao consumo de refrigerantes, sucos industrializados, doces e guloseimas, e passo 3, relativo ao consumo Frutas/legumes/hortaliças. A adesão aos “10 passos para uma alimentação saudável” pelos adolescentes foi muito baixa. Considerando a importância de uma alimentação saudável na adolescência, recomenda-se maior investimento em políticas públicas na área de alimentação e nutrição.
