To determine the nutritional knowledge among adolescent girls the study was undertaken on 100 adolescent junior college students of Hyderabad. A questionnaire has been developed to collect the demographic profile of the subjects, food habits of the subjects and food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used. Most of the subjects were within the age range of 15-17yrs, living in nuclear family, having non vegetarian food habits and belong to middle income group. The mean height and weight of the subjects was156.4±5.98cm and 46.2±8.28 kg. 63% of the subjects were normal and 33% subjects were underweight. Most of the subjects were having faulty food habits; 60% of subjects eat out once a week followed by23% subjects eat out twice a week and most of them preferred to eat fast foods and carbonated beverages. Only 25% of the subjects were having good knowledge about anemia.
