Objective: The aim of the study was to describe and analyze eating habits of university students in the nursing program. Methodology: A quantitative survey was carried out in 100 students of the bachelor study program in nursing in the age range from 19 to 24 years, of which 94 were women and 4 men. We created an anonymous questionnaire for the data collection. Results: The analysis of the data showed that 36 % of respondents eat three times a day and 22 % 4 times a day, but 24 % of the respondents eat only once a day. Seventy percent of the respondents food consume warm food on every day. Also, only 30 % of students consume fruits and 20 % consume vegetables on a daily basis. A negative finding was that 48 % of the respondents do not consume fish at all. On the other hand, a positive finding concerned drinking regimen, where 77 % of respondents drink liquids in the amount of 1.5-3 liters per day. Conclusion: While nursing students have sufficient knowledge of healthy lifestyle and the risks associated with their violations, they only follow some of the recommended measures. Relatively high percentages have shown compliance with the drinking regime, but the composition of the diet of respondents is problematic.
