Objective: Identify the dietary patterns of adolescents, both normal and overweight. Method: cross-sectional study of 239 adolescents from a public school in São Paulo/SP, Brazil; of both sexes, aged 14 to 19 years. Anthropometric data was collected and 4-day dietary records were collected. Nutritional status was assessed by BMI, according to the criteria of Must et al. A factor analysis was applied to identify dietary patterns. Results: Out of this assessment, four dietary patterns were identified: Traditional, Urban, Healthy, and Junk Food. The nutritional status of normal weight was positively associated with the Traditional and Urban patterns, the overweight was positively associated with the Healthy and Junk Food patterns, and, lastly, obesity was negatively associated with the Urban, Healthy and Junk Food patterns. Conclusion: The Healthy pattern was found among overweight adolescents, showing concern for weight control and an attempt to change eating habits. Among the obese, the occurrence of underreporting probably influenced the outcome of the associations.
