This survey has a qualitative and quantitative investigated among undergraduate students of nutrition in the nutrition knowledge acquired, their eating habits and nutritional status of the same in order to ascertain whether changes occur during the course. The survey was conducted with 1 and 7 semesters of an institution of higher learning in class time with the teacher's presence the day of the course. We applied a range of nutritional knowledge and a questionnaire to assess dietary habits and lifestyle, in addition to
the assessment of individual nutritional all students. The results revealed, in general, show that the nutritional knowledge increased considerably during the course in one
semester the moderate and high knowledge amounted to 55%, and 7, totaling 96%. The nutritional profile shows that the 1st half 65% of students are normal weight and 7 in the first half that rate increases to 73.1%. Since dietary and lifestyle of the students did not achieve a significant change, demonstrating that the knowledge
gained during the course is not put into practice by all students. It is hoped that the results of this study contribute to a reflection of the academic community about the importance of health care and disease prevention during the academic life with changing eating habits and lifestyle, for it suggests that they be implemented some
interdisciplinary practices in order to know the profile of the institution and students, so that the theoretical knowledge to generate in students a more meaningful learning that can be used as a tool in the necessary changes in life.
