    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to make a customary frequency analysis of breakfast and lunch consumption among the children and teenagers from the rural environment, and a comparison of the caloric value of breakfasts and other meals eaten by the rural and urban teenagers during their stay at school. Breakfast was consumed by 52.8% to 65.85% of the tested from the rural environment. Among the upper secondary school students, the boys consumed their breakfast more often than the girls. A customary frequency lunch consumption in the rural population has lowered with age. It was always consumed by over 52% of the primary school students and only 31.9% of the lower secondary school students. The breakfasts of the caloric value lower than 20% in comparison with daily food rations were eaten by 43.74% of the students, and the tested from the urban area in this group made a higher percentage. Any vital differences in the breakfast caloric values depending on the place of living were not observed. More than 20% of the students in total had consumed neither a product nor a meal at school the day before the test was carried out. A higher percentage in this group made the boys from the urban area, but the rural boys at the age of 10.5 accepted a considerably smaller amount of energy from the food as compared with their peers from the city.
