  title        = {{Background: - Adolescence is a nutritionally 
                   vulnerable period of life because of the dramatic
                   changes in physical growth and development and the
                   change of life style and food habits that affect
                   both nutrient intake and needs. Inadequate quality
                   and quantity of food are the prime determinants of
                   nutrition. However studies are limited regarding
                   adolescent nutrition and there is very little
                   information on the adequacy of dietary intake
                   among adolescents. Objective: - To estimate the
                   level of macro and micro nutrient intake and to
                   evaluate prevalence of inadequacy among adolescent
                   girls 10-19 years. Method; - A community based
                   cross-sectional study was conducted in Damot Gale
                   district, Woliyta zone, SNNP Region. Data were
                   collected from 288 female adolescents after random
                   selection from six kebeles. Face to face interview
