The objective of this study is to determine the nutritional habits of students who attend sports academies. The sample of the study consists of 343 students selected from among first year (180) and fourth year (163) students attending departments of teaching and coaching at academies of Hacettepe, Gazi and Ankara Universities in Ankara. The data were collected through a questionnaire. The findings were analyzed in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences-(SPSS) programme. Sixty-four point seven percent of the students stated that they were actively involved in sports, and 68.5% stated that they kept abreast of the news about nutrition. Fifty-one point zero percent of the students expressed that they had three meals a day. Among the reasons for skipping breakfast, the first one was not being able to be on time for the first class and the main reason for skipping lunch and dinner was not having appetite. It was found out that 92.1% of the students stated that they consumed food and drinks between meals. It was observed that chocolate-waffle was the food that was consumed the most and tea with sugar was the drink that was consumed the most. It was concluded that students of physical education and sports academies where teachers and trainers of the future are trained are not yet conscious of the importance of nutrition, which contributes considerably in performance.
