• Abstract: Through studies by health institutions, it was possible to show that young university students are indifferent to their eating habits, characterized by omitting the main meals of the day such as breakfast and dinner, not drinking water during the day, insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables in their diet. A survey was carried out with 100 UPIIG students to obtain statistical data that indicate a variation in their eating habits with respect to the change from the face-to-face school modality to the online modality. The results obtained in the survey about how they would evaluate their current eating habits, it was obtained that 42.6% of those surveyed rate their habits as regular, 40.7% as good, 15.7% as bad and only 0.9% as excellent.  90.7% of those surveyed answered that there was a change in their diet due to the new modality of online classes. According to the research, it is evident that there is a change in the eating habits of UPIIG students due to the online modality, since more than 50% of the respondents say they have gained weight.
