    Objective: To evaluate the energy intake and diet adequacy among children enrolled at nurseries of public and not-for-profit daycare centers in São Paulo City. Methods: Cross-sectional study aiming at assessing food consumption using the straight weighing method during three non-consecutive days.

Diet adequacy was calculated using the following parameters: Estimated Energy Requirement – EER for energy; Estimated Average Requirement – EAR for protein, iron, vitamins C and A; Adequate Intake – AI for calcium since there is no EAR for this nutrient. Data were doubled entered, validated and analyzed using Epi Info. Results: Food consumption mean for the eight daycare centers has demonstrated that nutrients analyzed were inadequate for energy with deficits of iron and calcium, and excess of proteins, vitamins A and C.
