Sumario:Introduction: Globalization and the growth of food marketing have been increasing the consumption of rich carbohydrate and dense fat products. Aim: To analyze the nutritional composition of large portion sandwiches in fast food chains, as well as the territorial availability of these networks in Teresina-PI. Methods: four networks identified in the study were identified with letters from "A" to "D", the menus of each network were searched on the Internet, three sandwiches of large portions were selected per network, totaling twelve sandwiches analyzed. Results: Of the four analyzed networks, the highest calorie value was in network B with 927.9 kcal. The highest nutrients found were sodium (2079.4 mg) in a single sandwich. Conclusion: It was verified that, of the four networks analyzed, three exceeded macronutrients and daily micronutrients values, resulting in the client being unaware of the nutritional values of the foods.
