Abstract
This study investigated the eating attitudes of physical education students in Kerala and assessed the significant difference in eating attitudes between male and female subjects. 349 students (218 males and 131 females) were collected purposively from different physical education institutions in Kerala. Information on college students' background, nutritional, and eating attitudes were collected using an EAT 26 scale (Eating Attitude Test). The study discovered that 96.6 percent of the 349 participants had a lower risk of eating disorders. An estimated 3.4 percent of the population is at risk of developing an eating disorder. The majority of the male and female students were of average height and weight. There was no statistically significant difference in eating attitudes between male and female individuals, nor was there a statistically significant difference in eating attitudes among Kerala physical education college students. The reason could be that physical education students are physically active and always maintain a daily routine, which is helpful for the proper metabolic functioning of the body. Another reason could be an appropriate balancing of calorie intake and expenditure.
