The increasing awareness of the important of diet for health promotion and disease prevention has lead to a greater concern about the diet and eating pattern among people. Eating patterns such as eating frequency, skipping of breakfast and frequently of eating a fast food might influence the nutritional status which then influences health and academic performance (Shaw, 1988). Eating pattern today will shape the diet late tomorrow (Dwyer et al, 2001). According to Taras (2005), nutrition and student achievements have been connected, and without proper fuel for the body, the mind will cease to function to the best of its ability. Proper fuel, or “normal amounts of nutrition”, is described as eating a balanced meal that includes various food groups (Rampersaud et al., 2005; Taras, 2005). This paper attempts to report the eating pattern among UMP students and association between eating patterns with gender, ethnicity, body mass index status and academic performance.
