This study aims to examine the effect of nutritional counseling on changes in eating behavior, body mass index, and body fat in overweight and obese children. This study is a randomized controlled trial. The results showed that the percentage of men was more than women, namely 51.9%, while the rate of respondents' age at most was 14 years, which was 46.2%. In conclusion, there is a significant difference between energy intake before and after the provision of nutritional counseling. Still, there is no difference in the frequency of carbohydrates and fat. Providing nutritional counseling can change eating behavior based on energy intake.
