Healthy eating habits among university students are not in a good conditionm especially nowadays. This is maybe because people now are living in the sedentary lives compared to the life of people in the old days. Healthy eating habits among the students are measured by their diet, the food intake, their meals, their eating patterns, the reasons of their unhealthy eating habits and their perception towards those foods. This study examined how the students eating habits and lifestyles may affect their health and their performance either in their study or extra co-curricular activities. Majority of the students complaining about the quality and the taste of the foods provided in the campus especially the dining hall and they prefer eating unhealthy foods (junk foods and fast foods) although these foods are quite expensive and most students are supported by the PTPTN, a loan that is given to them in a very huge amount.
