This research is analytical observational research with a cross-sectional design. The subjects were university students in Lampung. The sampling of 196 students was collected using a non-probability with snowball sampling techniques. The data include respondents' characteristics, learning achievements, and eating desires (attitudes, skills, and knowledge). The data analysis was carried out using the Chi-square test to determine the relationship between eating attitudes, eating skills, and eating knowledge, with the student learning achievement. The results showed that most of the subjects (91.33%) had a good eating attitude, (69.90%) had less eating skills, and (51.53%) also had less eating knowledge. In this study, it is revealed that there is no significant relationship between eating attitudes, eating skills, and eating knowledge with the student learning achievement.
