Abstract

The university students require an accompaniment in nutritional education, which allows them to maintain good eating habits. This research evaluates the influence of nutritional education on food preferences of gastronomy students, compared to students who do not have this type of training. For this, a sample of 72 students from the Universidad Católica Luis Amigó, Medellín, Colombia is used, to which an instrument is applied with data about: the frequency of food consumption, number of meals eaten daily, feeding times , places of food consumption different from the home, among others. It is found that students include more meat, eggs and dried legumes in their diet. Conversely, fruits and vegetables do not occupy an important place in their eating practices. Furthermore, no significant differences were found between the two groups of students compared. It is concluded that the level of knowledge in nutritional education that an individual has, is not synonymous with healthy eating practices.
