Objective: Verifying the dietary pattern of a specific group of Nutrition students according to recommendations to healthy eating. Methods: Documentary analysis applied to food records of Nutrition students from 1994 to 2009. Data were collected and subjected to Shapiro-Wilk test to estimate energy contribution. Tables of nutritional composition and food labels were used to determine energy value. Food/beverages were classified in descending order based on 75th, 50th and 25th percentiles. Food pattern was supported by NOVA's classification. Results: In total, 1342 food records of 671 students, who declared 240 food/beverages, were used in the experiment. Most food portions did not present Gaussian behavior. Median represented the amount of food consumed by the partcipants. Food pattern was described through food/beverage estimates according to energy contribution rate ([greater than or equal to] P75, 0.0588%), which showed 62 food products. Conclusion: Food intake was represented by in natura and minimally processed foods. There was lack of vegetables consumption, and it opened room for the consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods. Keywords: Food consumption. Healthy diet. Energy intake. Resumo Objetivo: verificar o padrao alimentar de um grupo especifico de acade-micas de Nutricao pautado nos pressupostos de uma alimentacao sau-davel. Metodos: Analise documental utilizando registros alimentares de academicos de Nutricao, periodo 1994-2009. Mineracao dos dados e aplicacao do metodo para estimativa da contribuicao energetica. A nor-malidade foi testada por Shapiro-Wilk. A determinacao do valor energe-tico foi realizada utilizando tabelas de composicao nutricional e rotula-gem de alimentos. Classificacao dos alimentos/bebidas foi determinada em ordem decrescente nos percentis 75, 50 e 25. O padrao alimentar foi sustentado pela classificacao da NOVA. Resultados: Participaram 671 academicas, totalizando 1.342 registros, tendo sido declarados 240 alimentos/bebidas. A maioria das porcoes alimentares nao apresentou comportamento gaussiano. A mediana representou a quantidade con-sumida. Padrao alimentar desenhado com alimentos/bebidas estimados por contribuicao energetica percentual ([] P 75, 0,0588%), captando-se 62 no total. Conclusao: O consumo alimentar das academicas de Nutricao esta centrado em alimentos in natura/minimamente processados, a excecao da ausencia de hortalicas, sem deixar de abrir espaco para o consumo de processados e ultraprocessado
