Overweight or obesity is considered as one of the health problems for adults, children and also as earlier as toddler. Being overweight for children at early age most likely would make them remain the same through their adolescents and adults years. Overweight in children is caused by several interrelated factors, such as: unhealthy eating pattern as the habit in consuming food with high fats and calories, and lack of physical activities. The objective of this research was to find out the nutrient intake such as energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat and cholesterol of 4-6 years old children with excess weight, and their energy expends in one day. The research was conducted in three kindergartens at Bogor city.

The inclusion criterias of the samples were 4-6 years old students with body weight according to height > 2 SD. Data is collected by anthropometry measurement, 1x24 hours food recall, and 1x24 hours activity recall. The average weight of the students was 26,85 kg. The average energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat and cholesterol intakes were 2019 kkal, 229 g, 61 g, 78 g and 457.4 mg respectively. The high intake of cholesterol was acquired from consumption of 3 eggs/day, and from three times consumption of full cream milk/day at the minimum. Total energy expenditure was 1214 kkal/day or there were 805 excess calories/ day. All subjects in this study had physical activity in mild category.
