In recent years increased the consumption of unhealthy foods among adolescents, especially sweets, sweetened soft drinks and fast food meals. This food is also widely available at school, as an offer of school shops and cafeterias. Aim of the study is to analyze the selected adolescent dietary behaviours, including number of meals and snacking, with reference to food eaten at school. Questionnaire survey was carried out in 2009 within 185 students of secondary schools in Świętokrzyskie voivodship, Poland. There were observed some dietary errors in the nutrition way of young people, as evidenced by irregular eating and eating high-energy food. Availability of foods in school shops and cafeterias significantly favoured the incorrect diet of schoolchildren. There is a need to improve the food supply available at school taking into account the rules of proper eating. It wills results in better nutritional status of young people and their better achievements in the learning process.
