The study aims to describe prevalences of food consumption in children aged 6-24 months assisted by a primary healthcare unit (PHU). A primary-based descriptive study was conducted with children between 6-24 months of age, enrolled at a PHU in the municipality of Macae-RJ, between October, 2016 and February, 2017. The “Food Consumption Markers” form proposed by the Coordenacao-Geral de Alimentacao e Nutricao (CGAN) (General Coordination Office for Food and Nutrition) in contribution to the Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (Sisvan) (National System for Food and Nutritional Surveillance) was used in the study. Prevalence of 80% and over was adopted, as recommended by the Ministerio da Saude (Ministry of Health) for healthy food indicators. Data from 33 children were analyzed, corresponding to 78.6% of the total number of children assisted by the PHU for the assessed age groups. In the analysis of food indicators, it was observed that the children aged between 6-12 months did not meet the 80% target for consumption of fruits, vegetables, greens, meats or egg. On the other hand, children aged 12-24 months exhibited prevalences above the target for consumption of fruits, meats or egg. Half of the children aged 6-12 months consumed salty food once; most of the children over 12 months consumed salty foods twice. For both age groups, there was a higher intake of solid foods in pieces, with statistical significance only for children older than 12 months. It is concluded that the children aged 12-24 months met the Ministry of Health target for consumption of fruits, meats or egg.
