    Mixed martial arts (MMA) is defined as a flexible sport and in order to balance these MMA disputes, competitions are separated by weight and age categories. To reach the desired category, athletes perform rapid weight loss, using strategies such as saunas, use of laxatives and mainly reducing food consumption during the competition period. Therefore, the objective of the study was to evaluate the food consumption of a group of amateur martial arts athletes residing in Salvador-Ba, during the training and competition period. For data collection, two 24-hour recalls were used, in which they were analyzed by the Software Dietpro, tabulated in the Excel program and later compared with the recommendations of the Brazilian Society of Medicine, American College of Sports Medicine and the Dietary reference intakes. According to the results found, during the training period the amateur athletes managed to reach the recommendations of protein, vitamin B3, calcium and iron, however during the competition period there was a considerable reduction in food consumption and only the male sex managed to reach vitamin B3 recommendations. It is concluded that during the training period, amateur athletes have an inadequate diet, with high consumption of processed foods and during the competition period they tend to reduce food consumption, without worrying about the possible consequences.
