Abstrakt: Dietary knowledge and access to resources are critical to improve health and nutritional need in a sustainable way. Healthy eating in adolescence is also important for healthy growth and human development. The dietary pattern used during adolescence may contribute to the treatment of eating disorders and increase the risk of a number of important chronic diseases later in life. The outcomes of the current investigation indicate that the food pattern of 57.3% of the sample is the vegetative type, 38.4% of them the food pattern is the Mediterranean style and only 4.3% follow the meat pattern. In this study, 55.1% were found to be malnourished (53.0% were underweight and 2.1% were obese). In the bright of the results, here is a necessity and space for the project and implementation of teens programs for nutrition teaching and a focus on wellbeing teaching that shall develop the well-being and nourishing state of teenagers and establish research models on adolescent nutritional patterns.
