Popis: The aim of this study was to analyze the intakes of selected micronutrients by obese children and adolescents aged 7-13 years before and after nutrition counselling. The study showed that the introduction of hypocaloric diet did not bring about any significant reductions in body weight of subjects expressed as body mass index BMI. Dietary counseling did not result in changes in the intakes of vitamin B12, folates, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, potassium, which fell below the recommended values. The consumption of vitamin B6 vitamin C was in accordance with the recommended daily intake (RDI), but the intakes of sodium exceeded the RDI. In order to prevent the development of non-communicable diseases in adulthood, the diets of investigated subjects need to be improved.
