With the development of economy, great changes have taken place in culture and education in China, and profound changes have taken place in diet, nutrition and physical quality. College students are in the stage of growth and development, and their learning tasks are heavy. Their nutritional status has aroused widespread concern in society.

In recent years, irregular diet has become one of the main factors that form the sub-health state of college students. College students obviously don't know enough about the importance of diet, and irregular diet is one of the main causes of digestive system diseases. According to relevant data, the proportion of students with irregular diet has accounted for 465,438+0.9% respectively [2]. Long-term irregular diet will not only cause malnutrition, affect the quality of sleep, but even affect the regulation of neurohumors and endocrine, which will have a great negative impact on students' health [3].

Picky food, partial eclipse, more hobbies for certain foods. Female students have a low intake of protein, especially animal protein [3].

The intake of dietary protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins A, b2, C and calcium is equivalent to the standard [4]. In 2005, Deng Jie's investigation on the nutritional status of college students in Nanjing showed that 36.9% were well nourished, 52.6% were malnourished and 10.5% were overnourished [5]. In this paper, the questionnaire data about college students' nutrition knowledge, attitude and eating behavior in recent years were consulted. The statistical results show that most students lack nutrition knowledge, and some students have bad nutrition behaviors, such as skipping breakfast and often eating snacks. However, these students have a good attitude towards nutrition, and they hope to gain more nutrition knowledge through various channels, and they are also willing to be healthy and change bad eating habits. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out active and effective nutrition education among college students, give regular lectures on nutrition knowledge, publish nutrition newspapers and periodicals, offer elective courses on nutrition knowledge, and strengthen publicity and education on nutrition knowledge in order to improve college students' physical quality.
