Abstract: Individual eating behaviors significantly influence nutritional balance. Students are vulnerable to nutritional issues due to unhealthy eating habits. Academic stress and a busy lifestyle often lead them to neglect less nutritious foods, potentially resulting in health problems. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutrition literacy and eating behavior among active dentistry students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Sam Ratulangi. This was an observational and analytical study using primary data collected through a Google Form questionnaire. The Spearman statistical test for the relationship between nutrition literacy and eating behavior showed a significant relationship in the enjoyment of food subscale (p=0.029), meanwhile, there were no significant relationships between nutrition literacy and eating behavior in the hunger (p=0.162), emotional overeating (p=0.934), food responsiveness (p=0.451), slowness in eating (p=0.133), emotional undereating (p=0.346), satiety responsiveness (p=0.481), and food fussiness (p=0.142) subscales. In conclusion, there is a relationship between nutrition literacy and eating behavior on the enjoyment food subscale of the AEBQ. Meanwhile, non-significant relationships were observed on hunger, emotional over-eating, food responsiveness, slowness in eating, emotional under-eating, satiety responsiveness, and food fussiness subscales.
