Snack Habits That Affect The Nutritional Status Of Students I want to tell you about snack habits that affect the nutritional status of students. As students, we have moderate activities, even though we are only sitting in class. We as students carry out activities on campus for 8 hours. For 8 hours we are required to think and accept lessons from lecturers. When we think hard, it will easily get hungry. As a solution, during time the rest students will going to the canteen for lunch. But there is one thing that concerns me, about the menu provided in the canteen. As a health student, healthy food intake certainly becomes an important thing as the application of a healthy lifestyle, but the fact is in the canteen it provides less healthy food. Such as fried chicken or chicken geprek, fried rice, intestine satay, and others. For those who are hungry, there will be no other choice for their lunch menu. In my opinion the variety of menu’s in the canteen does not meet the needs of balanced nutrition. There should be a vegetable and fruit menu, because for people like me who are very careful about the intake of food that enters the body. The proverbs say, “You Are What You Eat”. So, what we eat will reflect the quality of ourselves. in addition, we are the younger generation, the generation of the nation's hopes. One effort to improve the quality of human resources is to provide nutritionus snacks to meet the body's needs while attending lessons on campus. And for those who like to buy snacks that lack nutrient content, the lack of attention to the nutritional content of snacks will cause negative aspects of snacks, if consumed in excess can cause excess energy intake or obesity. Just for info in one serving fried rice has 330 calories, which is dominated by energy and fat. whereas geprek chicken has 660 calories, contain high levels of fat and calories which should be limited in consumption, If not balanced with fruit and vegetable consumption it will lead to excess nutrition or obesity.



We as health students are aware of the importance of quality food intake. I am especially a nutrition student, was very concerned about the lack of menu variations in the canteen, especially for processed vegetable and fruit menu’s. Because the pattern of unbalanced food consumption habits will cause health problems, such as obesity. And will affect the nutritional status of students which have an impact on the quality of achievement. References: Dini, Nurul Islami, dkk. 2017.
