Data collection was carried out using Food Frequency Questionnaire with questions about FOOD HABITS and demographic variables, through interviews and measurements of height and weight. Data was analyzed using chi-square test, t test and one- way ANOVA and Pearson's correlation coefficient.Results: Ten percant of the STUDENTS suffered from overweight and 5.6% were obese. The findings showed that there was a significant and positive correlation between Body Mass Index (BMI) and the number of daily intake of bread and cereals (r=0.17, p=0.006), milk (r=0.21, p=0.001) and meat substitutes (r=0.24, p<0.001) and there was a significant relationship between BMI and age of STUDENTS (r=0.13, p=0.037), mothers' educational level (p=0.038) and fathers' job (p=0.018)Conclusion: Given the considerable PREVALENCE of overweight and OBESITY in STUDENTS, planing and implying appropriate interventions in order to modify FOOD HABITS and prevent of growing trend of overweight and OBESITY, seems necessary.
