These questions were mostly contained personal information, background of parents and seven day food record table. From the data collect is was evident that diet does actually have an impact on the performance of students. The Body Mass index was calculated and it was found that 30% of students were underweight and 22.5% were overweight as was seen due to their poor diet. However consumption of unbalanced meals was common in all categories of students.
