AB In order to discover family conceptions and their di culties with regard to healthy eatinghabits during the school day, a qualitative study framed in the phenomenological, exploratory, andexplanatory perspective has been carried out to detect and describe the aspects and interrelationshipsthat shape the study phenomenon. The researchers performed triangulation techniques andinformation analysis support with the Atlas-ti programme. As participants, the students’ parentsbelonging to public secondary education high schools in Huelva, and the capital and its provincewere included. The participants were intentionally chosen based on established selection andsegmentation criteria. Four main categories were obtained from the triangulated analysis. Healthybreakfast, school snack, school cafeteria, and promotion of healthy food measures. Other subcategorieswere established within them. Families are well aware of the composition of a healthy breakfast,although this is often not translated into practice. Lack of time, comfort and market influence arethe main challenges they encounter for their children to acquire healthy habits. The maintenanceof healthy habits, their responsibility and control on behalf of the family, and promoting fruitconsumption and healthy products from the part of the centre and its cafeteria were highlighted asimprovement proposals.
