In order to improve the meal selection capability of university students, we conducted a survey of university students who live alone by using photographs of the dinner menu and a questionnaire survey about eating habits, which helped us clarify the realities and the awareness of university student eating habits.13;
The results were as follows:13;
1. In dinner combinations, only about half of the side dishes comprised of vegetables were taken, which causes concern for a lack of vegetables in student diets.13;
2. When choosing a dinner meal, the main reasons for using the university co-op cafeteria were preference and mood, and not much importance was placed on nutritional balance.13;
3. The reason for using the co-op cafeteria was the convenience of things such as meal cards, and not much importance was given to the ease of obtaining balanced nutrition.
