The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between anthropometric profile and dietary intake in patients treated in clinical school of Pythagoras College, Campus Ipatinga-MG. Cross-sectional study with 60 adults. Data were collected for age, sex, weight, height, and waist circumference. For diagnosis of nutritional status, we used the Body Mass Index (BMI) and subsequently divided into groups (normal weight, overweight and obese). To evaluate food intake, we used the method of dietary survey 24-hour recall, which were determined by the quantities of fiber, energy and macronutrient intake. It was found that patients who went to school clinic were mostly female (90%) were overweight (80%) had inadequate and waist circumference (71.6%). There was no significant difference between groups for total energy intake and fiber. The group of normal weight and overweight consumed significantly higher amount of protein (g / kg) than the obese group. The percentage of intake for the three macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and lipids) indicate suitability for all groups. It is concluded that there was no relationship between the anthropometric profile of the evaluated total energy intake and the amount of fiber intake, but the obese had a lower protein intake (g / kg) and higher proportion of lipids.
