During the 1990-1991 school year, the food records of 1,912 college students were examined to identify the amount of meals they missed and what types of food they were actually eating. The study found that 22% of students skipped breakfast, however students were recorded snacking at least once a day. Additionally, the study also found that men consumed foods with higher calories and a higher amount of fat. The study appears to be more quantitative, however qualitative practices must have been adopted when interviewing subjects about their meals for inclusion in the dietary records. The findings suggest that college students should eat more fruits and vegetables, as well as consume fewer carbonated drinks and dishes with a high amount of fat. While this is a well-done study, it is limited because it was conducted more than 20 years ago, so college students' eating habits may have changed in this time. For example, over these 20 years, the perception of soda has changed dramatically, which illustrates the need for this type of study to be more relevant to today's college students. Additionally, much of this study focuses on what these students eat, but I also believe that finding out how students eat their meals is important to understanding a college student's diet.
