Objectives: Given the important role of nutritionists in tackling obesity, this study aimed to identify their understanding of obesity and how to tackle it within the Primary Healthcare Units of the city of Palmas,Tocantins. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory research with a qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews conducted with a semi-structured script based on the Primary Care Handbook No. 38 - Obesity; the sample consisted of three nutritionists and the interviews were transcribed and analyzed using content analysis. Results: Seven categories of analysis were defined: (I) understanding of health; (II) health promotion; (III) health promotion in professional practice; (IV) understanding of obesity; (V) planning concerning tackling of obesity; (VI) strategies for approaching individuals with obesity; and (VII) sentiment regarding dialog about weight. A reproduction of concepts found in the scientific literature was observed, which showed an adequate theoretical understanding of health and health promotion, but limited understanding of obesity. Professional practice, on the other hand, was characterized by a lack of action planning, associated with educational practices with an individual focus and a preventive nature. This highlights the need for professional qualification alongside the structuring of a care model appropriate for chronic conditions such as obesity. Conclusion: The nutritionists must recognize the importance of Health Promotion, pursue continuing education and reframe their praxis in order to tackle obesity.
