“…The results also show that more than one-third of the studied participants reported spending 7-8 hours daily at the college. This result supported by that reported by Santos, [14] who found that 30.4% of students daily spent 7-9 hours at the university. Eating a nutritious breakfast regularly is an important contributor to a healthy lifestyle and health status.…”

The college students, representing the young age population of community, for different reasons are prone to eat unhealthy foods and to have bad health habits during their college years which might affect their well-being and increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, and coronary heart disease; like fast food consumption, lower vegetable and fruit intake in face of less physical activities and a lot of computer & TV watching hours. This study aimed to assess eating habits and patterns, factors affecting food choices and anthropometric measurements. Descriptive cross-sectional study method was followed. 230 students were included in the study. The findings revealed that 50.9% of the study sample were at age group (< 20 years), nearly half 48.7% were at a preparatory year. Results show also that 44.3% of the study sample don't take breakfast regularly; the most reported causes were not enough time at home 49% and that they don't prefer cafeteria food 24.6% nor there is no for a break in the timetable 21.6%. The results show that 53.04% had a normal BMI and 24.35% were overweight. The BMI had a significant relation with the consumption and snacking patterns among students (p = .000). So, there is a greater need for constructing educational programs to be directed to enhance the nutritional status of the university adolescent students.

“…Only three Brazilian and foreign studies on the food intake of university students assessed dietary patterns [16,39,52]. Nevertheless, only one Brazilian study, conducted by Pereira-Santos et al [52], identified and discussed four dietary patterns in students, namely, the traditional pattern, exam day pattern, end-of-semester pattern, and anxiety pattern. Therefore, this literature gap represents an interesting subject for future studies.…”

A B S T R A C TThis narrative literature review aimed to analyze the results of studies on the food intake of university students. A literature search was conducted in July 2014 and updated in July 2016 in the Scopus, MedLine/PubMed, and SciELO databases, using descriptors related to university students and food intake in English and Portuguese. Overall, 37 studies that analyzed university students' food intake were included in this review, eight of which were conducted in Brazil. The results demonstrated that most university students have unhealthy eating behaviors, such as high intake of fast foods, snacks, sweets, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages, and low intake of fruits, vegetables, fish, whole grains, and legumes. Undergraduate students of health sciences, such as nursing, nutrition, and medicine, did not have healthier diets. University students' food intake was characterized as unhealthy, regardless of undergraduate program or sex, especially among students who left the parents' home and became responsible for their own food. Therefore, there is a need of developing public policies that promote healthy eating habits among students, such as interventions to change their eating habits and increase their access to healthy foods at the university environment.Keywords: Eating.

Abstract-Daily eating habit of teenagers is usually described by knowledge and perception based on their family culture/heritage or education experience or social life. This research studies about how the knowledge and perception of teenagers describe their daily eating habit. Staple food is a group of food to reach the balance nutrition, which is consumed regularly in certain portion to obtain the carbohydrate as the source of energy. Indonesia has 77 kinds of staple food as the potential sources of carbohydrate such as cereal plants (paddy, sorghum), roots (garut -Maranta arundinacea, ganyong -Canna discolor, gembili -Dioscorea esculenta), and fruits (sukun/bread fruit, banana). This research uses the quantitative approach to analyze the data. Data is randomly gathered from students of High School YADIKA 11, West Java. The results of this research consist of students' knowledge and perception of staple food. The students' knowledge about staple food is 67 percent for items, 55 percent for kinds, 65 percent for provenance, 73 percent for definition, and 88 percent for benefits. However, the knowledge about Indonesian endemic staple food is only 32 percent. The students' perception of staple food by giving the score based on the choice (5 for rice and 3 for corn, cassava, potato, sweet potato and banana), taste (5 for rice and 3 for corn, cassava, potato, and sweet potato) and appearance (5 for rice and 3 for corn, cassava, potato, sweet and potato). The students have low level of knowledge about Indonesian endemic staple food. This means that teenagers' daily eating habit is only described by 6 kinds of staple food.
