Students need a balanced nutritional intake, this is due to heavy physical activity, such as attending bold or interesting lectures and often even practicing lectures. The problem found among students regarding current nutritional intake is that they tend to ignore this for various supporting reasons, for example rushing to campus or waking up late and not being used to breakfast. This is also exacerbated by their eating habits which do not meet nutritional standards. This type of research uses an analytical survey research design with a cross-sectional approach with the aim of finding out the relationship between nutrient (macro) intake and students' nutritional status. There were 34 students' nutritional status with abnormal nutritional status. There were 55 students with good carbohydrate intake with a p value of 0.00.
