Background: Feeding and nutrition are factors that influence the health of the population. But, in the case of athletes, their nutritional requirements make it necessary to implement adequate nutritional habits in order to achieve maximum performance in sports practice. The objective was to analyze the dietary intake in a group of students based on their exercise practice. Methods: A sample of 202 students stratified according to the intensity of exercise practice (moderate and intense) was studied; a total of 152 men (75.20%) and 50 women (24.80%). Results: It is observed that the total of the sample presents an unhealthy eating pattern in which a normocaloric diet, hyperproteic and low in hydrates predominates. Also, 42 student athletes (20,79%) take an excessive nutritional supplements without a professional supervision. Conclusions: A quantitatively and qualitatively unbalance diet is evidenced. Student athletes need help to follow a varied and balanced diet that is able to satisfy their energy requirements depending on the kind of sport and the intensity of it.
