Abstract: This is an experience report of a Health Fair in which undergraduate Nutrition students evaluated the nutritional state and dietary intake of the participants and developed food and nutrition educational activities. The operation was composed of three stages: nutritional evaluation, food consumption analysis and nutritional orientation. We evaluated 110 individuals of both sexes, aged between 15 and 70 years. In total set, most were eutrophic, but in the adult age group, nearly half were overweight. With regard to food, it can be cited as positive aspects: 62% consumed legumes regularly; 75.6% ate meat and eggs within the recommendations and withdrew the fat; the habits of replacing traditional food for snacks was not a habit of much of the public; the vegetal oil used was the most common type of fat and 83% did not use salt addition.
