%X Se analiz¨® el aporte cal¨®rico y de macronutrientes de me-n¨²s infantiles en restaurantes de comida r¨¢pida y restaurantes convencionales seg¨²n tiempos de comidas e ingesta recomendada para ni os de 4 a 8 a os en una ciudad del noreste mexicano que presenta una prevalencia de obesidad infantil de las m¨¢s altas del mundo. Es un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal. El muestreo fue por conveniencia y dirigido al ser seleccionados casos t¨ªpicos de men¨²s infantiles de cadenas de restaurantes de mayor presencia (152 establecimientos). Los resultados muestran que el rango de aporte de hidratos de carbono vari¨® del 53,8% a 97,9% de la recomendaci¨®n; el aporte de prote¨ªna no fue menor al 82,2%; el aporte de l¨ªpidos fue de 63.0% a 165,3%. Estos aportes aumentan considerablemente al analizarlos por tiempos de comida: de 97,8% a 373,4%. Se concluye que tanto los restaurantes de comida r¨¢pida como los restaurantes convencionales ofrecen a la poblaci¨®n infantil alimentos y porciones poco saludables. The caloric and macronutrient contribution of the children's menu in fast food restaurants and conventional restaurants was analyzed, according to mealtimes and recommended intakes for children between 4 and 8 years old in a city in the Northeastern of Mexico with the highest childhood obesity rate in the world. This is an observational, descriptive and transversal study. The sampling was by convenience and directed when typical cases of children's menus were selected from 152 restaurants. The range of carbohydrates contribution of the children's menu varied from 53.8% to 97.9% of the recommendation; in any case the protein contribution was less than 82.2%. With regard to fats, contribution ranges were from 63% to 165.3%. These contributions increase considerably when they are analyzed by mealtimes: from 97.8% to 373.4%. In conclusion, fast food and conventional restaurants offer unhealthy meals in big portions to child population.
