Poor eating habits is a major public health concern
among young adults who experienced transition into
university life [1], during which, they are exposed to
stress and lack of time [2,3]. These factors pose a barrier
against adoption of healthy behaviors, such as poor eating
habits and substance abuse [1]. Although these behaviors
of students are considered temporary, as part of
university life; unhealthy habits picked up at this age
generally persist in older adult life [4].
Rapid changes in physical growth and psychosocial development
have placed these young adults as nutritionally
vulnerable groups with poor eating habits, that fails to
meet dietary requirements [5-7]. Some common unhealthy
eating patterns among young adults included
meal skipping, eating away from home, snacking and fast
food consumption [6,7].
