    Abstract:
    Energy and macronutrient such as protein, fat and carbonhydrate as well as anthropometric measurments were caried out in overweight and obesity children aged 7-12 (n=25) during two visits of the loss weight program for children (before and 6 weeks after dietary intervention) at the Faculty of Human Nutrition and Consumer Sciences, Warsaw Agricultural University. The study showed no significant (p > 0.05) body weight reduction expressed as body mass index (BMI), but nutrition counselling resulted in a decline in obesity prevalence in examined subject. Before nutritional counselling energy and macronutrient mean intakes from the diets of examined: children aged 7-9 y, boys 10-12 y and girls 10-12 y, were found to be: of energy (kcal): 1770, 1680, 1711 and protein: 107%, 85%, 84%; fat: 107%, 84%, 111% and carbohydrates: 81%, 57%, 67% RDA, respectively. After 6 weeks of the aplication of--low energy diet the consumption of energy and fat decreased among most of children (p < 0.05). The intakes of energy and fat need to be monitored in this group of population, since their overeating can predispose to diet-related diseases, such as cardiovascular in adulthood.
