For this purpose, 348 female (age; 22.25±3.67 years) and 362 male (age; 22.49±3.28 years) students filled two questionnaires. First to determine the nutritional habits Personal Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (PNAQ) was used. A total of 13 and below scores from the PNAQ are poor, 14-18 points are moderate, 19-23 points are good, and 24-25 points are excellent.

The “stage based” handouts define the level of readiness and provide useful information on how to increase the amount of physical activity in life. Independent t-test, one way variance analysis and LSD tests were used in statistical analysis. The PNAQ’s total nutritional score was found to be 16.26 in females and 16.17 in males, that is, moderate level. There was no statistically significant difference of the total nutritional scores according to gender (p>0.05) only a significant difference was found only in “milk” related sub-dimension, according to gender (p
