| Changes in food consumption, being evaluated through the application of 24-hour recalls, such a method was used in order to draw a quantitative profile of the elderly's diet. To analyze the composition of the diet, the software to support Nutrition at Escola Paulista de Medicina was used. The base table for this program is that of the United States Department of Agriculture. As the food records were made in homemade measures, there was a need to convert them into grams, using the table of Pinheiro et al. (1994). The caloric intake and the macronutrients (Carbohydrates, Proteins and Lipids) were analyzed through the recalls applied during the initial evaluation (baseline), in the 4th week after the beginning of the intervention and in the 8th and last week. The comparative analysis of the sample characterization data (baseline) between the groups did not show statistically significant differences. The GR showed significantly lower caloric intake in the 4th week (p equal to 0.011) and 8th week (p equal to 0.0001) when compared to the baseline. The EG presented a significant caloric reduction between the baseline and the 8th week of intervention (p equal to 0.0001). When comparing the baseline of both groups, the EG (p equal to 0.022) had a lower caloric intake. Regarding the composition of the diet, in the baseline for protein consumption, the GR presented a significantly higher intake compared to the EG (p equal to 0.031). Throughout the intervention, the EG showed an increase in baseline protein intake for the 8th week of intervention (18.3%) and the GR showed a decrease of (27%). Regarding the consumption of lipids, there was a significant reduction in the baseline GR for the 4th week of intervention (p equal to 0.028), while a significant reduction in the baseline for the 8th intervention week was also observed in the EG (p equal to 0.003). For the values ??of carbohydrate consumption, no significant differences were observed between groups and throughout the inte | — |
