| Abstract | The main purpose of this study was to find out the studentâs food choices during snack time and their level of awareness on nutrition. The descriptive method of research was used in this study. The data gathered through the use of non-standardized questionnaires. Results were computed using the percentage, weighted mean and Pearson product Moment Correlation. Based on the results, majority of the respondents were 14-15 years old, female and were Catholics. Most of the respondentâs mothers are housewives and their fathers are government employees. The educational attainments of their parents are mostly college graduates and they had a family income of not more than 10,000 pesos monthly. The researchers concluded that majority of the respondents choose soft drinks, biscuits, cakes, sandwiches and puto during snack time. Age, sex, religion education of parents, occupation of father and monthly income of parents were not significantly related, only the occupation of mother affects their level of awareness on the nutrition. Age is significantly correlated with junk foods as well as income with cakes as choice for snacks. Students are aware about nutrition based on the results of their test scores. Similar studies must be conducted using a bigger number of respondents from different schools to find out what are their reasons in their selection of food and their level of awareness on nutrition. |
