Nutrient intake was evaluated by a qualitative food frequency questionnaire. The gathered data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, ANOVA test and Pearson correlation coefficients.

Weekly consumption frequency of high calorie and low nutrient foods was significantly high in students having possessory house than lessee students (P= 0.029). There was a negative significant association between the number of family members with dairy consumption frequency of high calcium (r= 0. 19, P= 0.013) and high protein (r= 0.241, P=0.002) foods.
