The survey included breakfast by day, and the type and amount of food eaten each day for one week. Multi-way MANOVA was used to determine the relationship between breakfast and body composition. Also, Pearson's correlation to analyze the correlation between the total energy intake and body composition. The results were following ; students who had breakfast were found to have lower body fat percentage and visceral fat area than those who did not eat breakfast. However, total energy intake and body weight, body mass index, waist circumference and visceral fat area showed positive correlation at the statistically significant level and negative correlation with muscle mass at the statistically significant level. Breakfast may be an important factor in maintaining college students' health, but balanced nutrition should be a priority.
