These young people completed a questionnaire with the weekly frequency of food intake. Processing of test results was done using Pearson Chi - Square. Results and discussion: dominant milk intake is only 2-3 times a week (43.10%) which is totally insufficient. Calculated by age differences are not statistically significant (χ² = 4.652, Gl = 3, p> 0.05) and moving towards similar eating habits. Eggs are mostly eaten 2-3 times a week (39.65%) is calculated statistically significant differences (χ² = 4.140, Gl = 3, p> 0.05). Basically, insufficient intake of eggs in adolescents and adults. Potatoes occur in menus 2-3 or 4-7 particular times (41.37%), statistically significant differences were calculated (χ² = 0.832, Gl = 3, p> 0.05). Sugar products appear in menus especially 4-7 times (68.96%), calculated differences being statistically significant at p <0.01 (χ² = 11.998, GI = 2). Conclusions: eating habits are formed early in life and changed a little thereafter.
