The transition to higher education is a phase marked by intense changes in lifestyle, including eating habits. University students' diets are affected by factors such as lack of time, academic pressures, work, and financial issues, often resulting in the choice of quick, ultra-processed foods. Lack of time and stress are aspects that hinder the maintenance of a healthy diet, leading to inadequate eating practices (SANTOS, 2014).
Additionally, there is a significant relationship between psychological aspects and eating behavior. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders can directly influence individuals' nutritional status (FRANÇA et al., 2012). Since students face both academic and emotional challenges, the intersection between Nutrition and Psychology becomes an essential tool for promoting healthier eating habits and improving quality of life.
This report describes the experience of implementing a Food and Nutrition Education (FNE) program with students from the Psychology course at the University Center of Brasília (UniCEUB), aiming to improve their eating habits and encourage reflection on their food choices. Furthermore, the importance of Health Surveillance in monitoring and promoting food and nutritional security among students will be addressed.
