Introduction: The role of dietary composition in relation to the development of childhood obesity remains inconclusive.The macronutrient composition of the diet may play a contributing role.This study investigated the difference in macronutrient composition of the diet between controls and obese children.Methods: Data of height and weight measurements, along with a 5-day dietary record were collected from Belgian boys and girls aged 6-16 years.Food records were analyzed by a skilled dietician using Becel Institute Nutrition Software (version 3.0.0.4).Results: 47 children were recruited with a mean age of 11.1 +/-2.8.Based on IOTF criteria 22 had overweight or obesity and 25 were part of a normal weight control group.No significant differences between cases and controls were observed for percentage carbohydrates (P=0.2),fat percentage (P=0.5)or total energy intake expressed in kcals (P=0.3).There was no difference in protein intake expressed in percent in the obese children compared to the controls (P=0.1).However, protein intake (in g/kg bodyweight) was significantly lower in our cases (P=<0.001) with a median of 1.39 (0.58-2.86) vs. 2.01 (0.82-4.37) in the controls.Conclusions: As a recently published Australian report (Elliot, Nutrition Journal 2011) on 24h dietary recall records described, the percentage of carbohydrate, protein and fat intake did not differ significantly between cases and controls.However in our cohort, protein intake per kg bodyweight was significantly lower in obese children, which may have an impact on guidelines for protein intake in children as they are based on total bodyweight.
