The questionnaire used The Eating Behavior Determinant with Health Belief Model Approach. All items was measured with a 7-point bipolar scale (-3 to 3). Data analysis using the Pearson test. 

Results: Predictors that have a significant relationship with The Likelihood of Healthy Eating with R2=0,654 R=0,809 are Self-Efficacy (b 0,46 95% CI 0,38-0,54), Food Intake Status (b 0,22 95% CI 0,15-0,29), Cues To Action (b 0,16 95% CI 0,08-0,25), Perceived Benefits (b 0,13 95% CI 0,06-0,19) and  Understanding the Importance of Healthy Eating (b 0,10 95% CI 0,02-0,19), while that no significant relationship are Perceived Severity (b -0,019, p=0,584), Perceived Vulnerability (b -0,027, p=0,357),  Perceived Barriers (b 0,002, p=0,961), Food Choices (b -0,059, p=0,178) .

Conclusion: This study shows that various psychosocial and behavioral factors—including self-efficacy, food intake status, perceived benefits, and cues to action significantly influence healthy eating habits among college students and the Health Belief Model can explain 65,4% of the variation in healthy eating behavior among college students.
