Food and nutrition literacy (FNL) is a concept that can help individuals to navigate the current food environment. This cross-sectional study examined the association of FNL with dietary intake and nutritional status as measured by body mass index of 89 adolescents from various schools in Paranaque City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Data on FNL, dietary intake, and anthropometric measurements were collected using a food and nutrition assessment tool (FNLAT), youth/adolescent food frequency questionnaire, and self reported data, respectively. The resulting values were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney, Bonferroni test, Spearman's ȡ, Point biserial correlation, and Chi-square test using R studio. Results demonstrated adequate scores for all FNL components, except for knowledge. The correlation test suggested no association between FNL and dietary intake; FNL and BMI. However, an association was found between some dimensions of FNL (functional, interactive, advocacy, critical, and food label) and dietary intake of fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, sugar, or fats. Although there is an insignificant association between the FNL, dietary intake, and BMI in adolescents, their deficient FNL knowledge is likely to impact the development of obesity later in life. In light of this finding, the education system and policymakers should have more consideration for food and nutrition-related knowledge in schools.
