RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar aspectos relacionados às escolhas alimentares e consumo alimentar de professores de Centros Educacionais Infantis de um município do Estado de Santa Catarina. Método: Realizouse um estudo transversal descritivo quantitativo, do qual participaram 100 professores, respondendo a questionários sobre o motivo de suas escolhas alimentares e consumo alimentar. Resultados: O fator apelo sensorial foi atribuído com maior relevância para determinar as escolhas alimentares dos professores, seguido dos fatores saúde, conteúdo natural e controle de peso, associados com requisitos importantes para promoção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis. Os participantes consumiram com maior frequência alimentos in natura e minimamente processados. Conclusão: Os resultados reforçam que os professores podem ser influências positivas na formação de hábitos alimentares de crianças, mas ainda é preciso conscientizá-los sobre essa responsabilidade, preparando-os para abordar a alimentação na infância, especialmente em um momento em que se observa diminuição do compartilhamento familiar das refeições.Descritores: Professor; Hábitos Alimentares; Educação Infantil.
