    The purpose of the present study was to clarify how dietary consciousness relates with eating habits and body composition in university men’s athletic club player. 262 university athletes were subjected to answer the questionnaire survey on eating consciousness, exercise consciousness, meal skipping situation, and injuries. Also their body compositions were measured. The group with high food consciousness (Hfc) accounted for 40.8% of the total, and the group with low food consciousness (Lfc) accounted for 59.2%. Comparing between Hfc and Lfc, in terms of awareness of the importance of nutrition and diet, exercise and training, and dietary habits and meal skipping situation, Hfc had better dietary habits, such as choosing with consideration for nutrients balance, paying attention to nutritional ingredient labeling, and trying to eat vegetables for their lunch. Hfc also had a low rate of meal skipping. All measurements of body composition of Hfc in rugby clubs (Backs) were significantly higher than Lfc. %Fat of Hfc in the rugby (forward) was significantly lower than Lfc. %Fat of Hfc in the baseball (fielder) was significantly lower than Lfc, and Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMI) was higher. The present study suggested that food consciousness would relate to food behavior and body composition in university men’s athletic club player.
