This kind of research uses quantitative analysis to study descriptive data. A sample of 96 people and all online motorcycle taxi drivers (Grabbike) in Kupang City made up the study's population. A food frequency questionnaire and the IFRC scale were used in the data collection process during interviews. The findings revealed that 62.5 percent of attitudes toward food intake and 86.5 percent of knowledge of healthy food were in the good categories, respectively, for online motorcycle taxi drivers. Rice as a main cuisine, eggs, tempeh, kale, bananas, and coffee are the foods that online motorbike taxi drivers consume the most frequently.
