A hundred and fifty volunteers (132 women and 18 men) with overweight and obesity were examined using questionnaire survey. The mean age was 37.4 (± 12.5) years for the women and 30 (± 11.03) years for the men. Their daily food rations and dietary habits were analysed. It was found that the diets of 78% surveyed women did not satisfy their daily energy requirements. Food rations of 50% men were energy-rich. Protein intake of the subjects was higher than the recommended safe maximum value in 76.5% women and 83.5% men. Fat-rich food rations were noted in 31.1% women and 66.7% men. Carbohydrate-deficient diets were recorded for 81.8% women and 66.7% men. Only 23.4% women and 22.2% men had 5 meals daily. Most of the surveyed people experienced strongest sensation of hunger in the evenings. As much as 97% had snacks between meals. Approximately 50% used to eat something at night hours. Highly processed food was most common. Only 10.6% women and 11.1% men controlled their daily energy intakes. These results seem to indicate that inappropriate dietary habits and disturbed proportions between the nutrients may enhance overweight and obesity.
