Abstract

During the Pandemic Period, social restrictions were imposed so that student activities
were carried out online which led to a decrease in physical activity. In addition, today's
youth lifestyle is often consuming fast food because it is fast, practical and there are
many fast food restaurants available around them. Knowledge of low nutrition can affect
the habit of consuming fast food without paying attention to the nutritional content
contained in it. The impact of excessive consumption of fast food can cause various
nutritional problems, one of which is being overweight. Being overweight in adolescent
girls causes adolescents to feel dissatisfied with their physical appearance and will lead
to negative perceptions of their own bodies. This study aims to determine the
relationship between body image (body image) and nutritional knowledge with fast food
consumption habits in students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of
Muhammadiyah Surakarta. The design of this research is observational with a cross
