Entering university marks a pivotal moment in the lives of young adults, as they assume
full responsibility for their health and well-being. One aspect of this responsibility is
maintaining healthy eating habits, which can be particularly challenging for students
living on their own during their studies. Research has shown that insufficient and
imbalanced nutrition can negatively impact academic performance by reducing attention
span, perception, and cognitive function, as well as contributing to behavioural disorders
and increased absenteeism (Kristo et al., 2020). In response to this issue, there has been
a proliferation of nutrition apps available in the market. However, these apps are often
geared towards Western diets and may not be suitable for students from non-Western
countries (Vasiloglou et al., 2020). This creates limitations for students in terms of
obtaining ingredients, budgeting for meals, and understanding healthy eating habits. To
address these limitations, there is a need for a dietary mobile app specifically tailored to
the needs and preferences of university students. This application should take into
account the demographic of the student population, as well as their perceptions and
expectations of healthy eating habits. To achieve this, research should be conducted to
gather insight into the attitudes and behaviours of university students related to dietary
health. The proposed dietary mobile app should be designed and developed to cater to the
needs of university students without compromising on tackling the dietary challenges
they face during their university years. This will provide students with a valuable tool to
