Objective: Verifying the dietary pattern of a specific group of Nutrition students according to recommendations to healthy eating. Methods: Documentary analysis applied to food records of Nutrition students from 1994 to 2009. Data were collected and subjected to Shapiro-Wilk test to estimate energy contribution. Tables of nutritional composition and food labels were used to determine energy value. Food/beverages were classified in descending order based on 75th, 50th and 25th percentiles. Food pattern was supported by NOVA’s classification. Results: In total, 1342 food records of 671 students, who declared 240 food/beverages, were used in the experiment. Most food portions did not present Gaussian behavior. Median represented the amount of food consumed by the partcipants. Food pattern was described through food/beverage estimates according to energy contribution rate (≥ P75, 0.0588%), which showed 62 food products. Conclusion: Food intake was represented by in natura and minimally processed foods. There was lack of vegetables consumption, and it opened room for the consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods.
