Table 3: Food group intake in the lot studied. regarding the relationship between the BMI and the number of daily servings of refined cereals consumed (\(p\) = 0.105). The fruit consumption was approximately equal for the two sexes; 519 (39.31%) adolescents consumed less than 2 servings of fruits per day, but about one third of them (32.90%) consumed more than 3 servings/day of sweets. In addition, a close percentage of those who consumed more than 2 servings of fruits/day (37%) consumed over 3 servings of sweets daily, with the difference not being statistically significant (\(p\) = 0.215). In our study, 26.20% of the adolescents (346) consumed at least 3 servings of vegetables/day, and 16.00% of adolescents (211) consumed at least 3 servings of high-fat foods daily (e.g., fries, snacks, and chips).
