The aim of the study is to evaluate the carbohydrate quality and nutrition knowledge level of vegan and vegetarian individuals in Istanbul, Turkey, and to examine their relationship with fatphobia. A questionnaire consisting of questions about sociodemographic characteristics, eating habits, the Nutrition Knowledge Level Scale for Adults, Fat Phobia Scale, and a 24-hour Food Consumption Record Form was administered face-to-face to 500 vegetarian individuals aged 18-65 living in Istanbul. Individuals in this study are 26.4% vegan, 10.4% lacto-vegetarian, 25.4% lacto-ovo-vegetarian, 12% pollo-vegetarian, 10.4% pesco-vegetarian and 15.4% semi-vegetarian. The group that has the highest Basic Nutrition Information (47.51 ± 7.95), Food Preference Information (24.27 ± 6.04), Evaluation of Daily Food Preferences as Correct (6.89 ± 1, 33) are vegans.
