Abstract

In Nigeria, the increasing poverty in spite of huge revenues from oil (Stephen and Simeon, 2013) has its toll on dietary intakes and student in tertiary institutions are not left out Nigeria like other low income countries has been going through nutrition transition and the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (Mayaki and Garbati, 2014). Poor dietary habit is often a major public health concern when young adults transit into tertiary institutions (Nelson et al, 2008). This lack of attention attributed to good dietary practice has often been attributed to academic stress and inadequate time for food preparation which invariably leads to increased snacking frequency and meal skipping (Savige et al, 2007). Snacking has been associated with consumption of junks and fast foods, increased weight gain and other undesirable health practices. Food consumption pattern and nutritional status of selected students in a Nigerian polytechnic (Otitoola, 2014) showered over 11% overweight or obese. This study therefore seeks to investigate the food consumption pattern and nutritional status of students of Shehu Idris College of Health Sciences and Technology, Markafi, Kaduna State, Nigeria.
