Abstract: A survey of 176 students (women) in the first and second course of all specialties from the Faculties of Economics, Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine at Trakia University, Stara Zagora, was conducted. The aim of the study was to identify the food habits and the physical activity of the students. Theoretical analysis, questionnaire, graphical analysis, comparative analysis of relative shares and alternative analysis were applied to achieve this goal. Anonymous survey was conducted to collect quantitative information on the eating habits and physical activity of students from Trakia University. The questionnaire included 22 questions. Analysis of the results displayed that students do not eat healthily due to lack of time, spend most of the day sitting and have insufficient motor activity. The survey data led to the assumption that the students’ awareness of the benefits of healthy eating and increasing their physical activity has to be increased.
