Food intake of the 6–11 year-olds was assessed by weighted food records on three consecutive days and one independent day. Adolescents (12–17 years) were interviewed about their food intake during the past four weeks using the Dietary Interview Software for Health Examination Studies (DISHES). Individual food group intake was compared with the food based dietary guidelines for children and adolescents in Germany. Energy and nutrient intake was calculated using the German Nutrient Database (BLS 3.02); intake from supplements was included. Individual intakes were compared with the Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) for Nordic countries.
