To try to make the desired changes in the diet of obese people, it is necessary to discover their eating habits and what they know about nutrients and their role. Material and methods. Knowledge and selected nutritional behaviors of people with elevated (n = 100) and normal BMI (n = 100) from Wielkopolska were studied using a direct survey.

Results. 59% of the obese group and 44% of the reference group never eat breakfast. Dinner was the main meal of the day for 64% of obese respondents and 68% of control group. More than half of the respondents (63% obese and 66% of the reference group) claimed that every day or several times a week they eat 4–5 meals.
