Location of meal consumption can affect the quality of adolescents’ diet. The main goal of this study was to observe if eating outside the home affects diet quality of 607 adolescents from the CRO-PALS longitudinal study. 24-hour recall was used as a dietary assessment method and meal location was also recorded during the interview. Two measurements were taken: one in the first and one in the final year of high school, so the goal was also to determine the differences between the groups and between the two measurements. As expected, considering previous studies, adolescents who had a higher energy intake consumed outside the home showed lower diet quality, more so in the case of girls and during the first year. Mjesto konzumiranja obroka može utjecati na kvalitetu prehrane adolescenata. Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je promatrati utječe li prehrana izvan kuće na kvalitetu prehrane 607 adolescenata uključenih u CRO-PALS longitudinalnu studiju. Provedena su dva mjerenja: jedno u prvom i jedno u završnom razredu srednje škole, pa je cilj bio i utvrditi razlike između skupina i između ta dva mjerenja. 24-satno prisjećanje korišteno je kao metoda procjene prehrane, a mjesto obroka također je zabilježeno tijekom intervjua. Očekivano, s obzirom na prethodna istraživanja, adolescenti koji su imali veći energetski unos izvan kuće pokazali su nižu kvalitetu prehrane, više u slučaju djevojčica i tijekom prve godine
