Chronic energy deficiency is caused by insufficient energy and protein intake. The results of the 2019 study, screening of Muhammadiyah 1 Palembang high school students aged 15-17 years, found 42.6% of students at risk of chronic energy deficiency. In students who were at risk of chronic energy deficiency, it was found that the intake of macronutrients (energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates) was less than 50%. Providing education in the form of counseling to students who were at risk of chronic energy deficiency  was one of the efforts that can be done to provide knowledge about balanced nutrition, foods that can improve nutritional status and provide awareness to students about the importance of nutritious food. In addition, students were also given a pocket book on improving nutritional status and balanced nutrition. The results of the average pretest regarding the nutritional knowledge of students are 58.37 and an increase in the posttest results to 74.29. From 43 students whose nutritional status was measured, it was found that 30 students suffered from chronic lack of energy or as many as 69.77% of community service participants. Each student who participates in community service, apart from being given education in the form of counseling twice, is also given a pocket book on Chronic energy deficiency  and balanced nutritional intake for teenagers.
