<![CDATA[Female students in Islamic boarding school are one of the vulnerable groups to experience nutritional problems caused by several factors, one of which is because there are traditions that can change eating patterns. Changes in eating patterns can be caused by fasting traditions, such as Daud and Ngrowot.
