Social Protection in resolution 2465 of 2010 that indicates the reference standards for the anthropometric classification.
Objective: to know the eating habits of children of a private educational institution in Bogotá, identifying, describing and recognizing the characteristics of the feeding of students between 6 and 12 years old.
Methods: Quantitative, descriptive study. The "food habits questionnaire" created in Seville, Spain was used, applying it with prior consent and informed consent, collecting 103 surveys, in which students from the first to seventh courses participated.
Results: Several students affirmed that they did not eat breakfast, dedicating little time to this activity and doing it alone. These students are in greater proportion in the lower grades (first, second and third). In all the daily meals, a large part of the students consume products such as trinkets, saturated fats and pastries. From Monday to Friday, it is evident that the school is the place where students tend to eat. As for the weekends, the place where they most carry out this activity is in restaurants.

Conclusions: Watching television while eating, becomes the main activity performed by students, comprising up to 7 hours a day, increasing the risk of obesity and overweight, according to studies the advertising of unhealthy foods during the children's period is high.
