It is well known that diet and nutrition play important role in
maintaining health and preventing diseases. A nutrient rich healthy diet
enables us to maintain a healthy body and mind. The proper dietary habit along
with a satisfactory lifestyle pattern which a person adopts from his childhood
and continues through his adult life can help to prevent dietary and lifestyle
associated diseases.Thus,nutrition education is one of the important practical
aspect of nutritional knowledge, plays an important role in basing public
awareness and ultimately the health of society. Now-a-days, young adults like
the college students are growing independently. They themselves assume the
responsibility for their own eating habit, health attitudes and behaviours. In many
cases they are switching over to junk food which do not contain any nutrients
that are required for proper functioning other than fat deposition. The
transition to adolescence where young people experience increased need to
ex-press themselves and experience pressure, significantly influence their food
choice. Thus, the logical extension for the students was that if their body
weight and the level of their physical activity is known, we can find their
energy balance whether they are consuming energy more or less than required.
