This study examined the learning content of diet education in elementary, junior high and high schools. It was a survey of 560 college students based on their knowledge about nutrition, food, dietary habits and food group intake. As a result, they were found to have a poor understanding of food groups and food group intake frequency to be lower as they grow older. Furthermore, it was observed that students who commuted from home had a better food intake than those who did not commute. Based on our research, it is suggested that learning about food groups and food group by intake is important in elementary, middle and high schools.
