There were no significant results (p 0.05) between the socio-demographic variables and body mass index that had been taken into account during this study. Furthermore, there is significant relation (p 0.05) between the frequent consumption of fast food intake and BMI as we were in view that increasing frequency of fast food consumption excludes body mass index. There is sufficient evidence (p 0.05), despite having the awareness of health hazards of fast food consumption, students don't hesitate to consume the fast food. Results from this study highlight that an urgent need for college-based nutrition interventions must be organized that consider the trends of fast food consumption and targeted eating behaviors of students.
