This research method uses analytic observational with a cross sectional approach. The sample consisted of 70 female students who were taken using a simple random sampling system. Data on carbohydrate and saturated fat intake were obtained by filling out the SQ-FFQ form. Data analysis used Spearman's Rank test.
