Abstract

Introduction: Vegetarianism, with more and more followers, requires nutritional care, such as adequate planning and monitoring. Objective: The present study aimed to know and discuss if subjects that follow the vegetarian diet do it correctly, including a complete diet in nutrients, and if they are monitored by a trained professional. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out by collecting data from 116 students of medicine, pharmacy, biomedicine and dentistry courses at a private university in the south of Minas Gerais. Results: According to the Vegetarian Classification, 86.2% of the research subjects are not vegetarians, 11.2% are ovolactovegetarians and the rest are divided into restricted vegetarian, vegetarian egg and vegan. The main benefits, mentioned by the investigated, about the vegetarian diet were the low intake of saturated fats and cholesterol, high intake of dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates, and the presence of antioxidants. Participants also cited nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin B12, iron, calcium and zinc. Conclusion: Most of the dieters do not follow up with nutritionists and are not aware of the foods to be suitable for the diet so as not to present deficiencies.
