Introduction: Eating behavior enables protection or risk for eating disorders, obesity, and chronic diseases. Objective: To investigate current valid tools used to evaluate the eating behavior of children and adolescents. Methods: Bibliographic review of articles published from 2014 to 2018 in the electronic databases Scielo, LILACS, and Pubmed. The descriptors used were “instrumento validado”, “instrumento comportamento alimentar adolescentes”, “instrumento comportamento alimentar crianças”, "instrument validation", "eating behavior children", "eating behavior adolescent". Results: A total of 14 tools was found, able to detect eating behavior of subjects with diseases such as diabetes, autism, eating disorder, obesity; social, family and caregiver aspects of food behavior; disordered eating attitudes; self-regulation and weight control. Conclusion: There are tools that can be applied to the Brazilian population of children and adolescents. We suggest that the early identification of these issues will enable interventions to minimize damages in this population.
