    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was the assessment of nutritional education of 13-15 year old adolescents with simple obesity in comparison to their normal weight peers. The studied group consisted of 25 obese and 31 normal weight children. The questionnaire method was used to collect the data. Obese adolescents, compared to the normal weight counterparts, showed higher level of education concerning principles of proper nutrition. Nevertheless, high level of obesity in this group of children indicates that they do not comply with these principles. The study results suggest that emphasis should be placed on the quantity of food in diet of overweight and obese adolescents.
