Overnutrition is a condition in which a person's body is overweight due to an excess amount of energy intake stored in the form of reserves in the form of fat. Overnutrition can be influenced by consumption patterns of energy and protein. Overnutrition is a problem that needs special attention because it has a big influence on determining the growth and development of the body as an adult. This type of research is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all students at SMP N 3 Sungai penuh. The sample in this study was 44 respondents and was carried out using a proportional random sampling technique. The variables used in this study were consumption patterns and nutritional status. Data on consumption patterns were obtained using interviews using the questionnaire of consumption pattern and nutritional status data obtained from direct measurements. Data were collected and then analyzed univariate and bivariate with the chi-square test. The results showed that most of the respondents had poor consumption patterns with more nutritional status (73.7%). The conclusion of this study was that there was no significant relationship between consumption patterns and nutritional status (P> 0.05). For this reason, it is expected to increase knowledge about good consumption patterns so that they can influence nutritional status.
