The study was conducted to determine the nutritional literacy levels of university students and to investigate the relationship between nutritional literacy status and obesity. This descriptive study was conducted with 967 students studying in Yozgat Bozok University. A questionnaire for descriptive information and Evaluation İnstrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults were used to collect data. %52,3 of the students who were participated in the research were female and %47,7 of them were male and their mean age was 20,7±2 years. According to their BMI, %68,8 of the students were normal and %21,8 were mildly obese. The mean score of the Evaluation İnstrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults (EINLA) was 25,06±5,62 and %73,5 of the students were found to have adequate nutrition literacy. When they grouped by subdivisions, students' literacy is most adequate (%81,8) in the sub-section of "food groups". In the "Portion amounts" subsection, only %9,7 have adequate literacy. Reading comprehension and food label reading and those with insufficient digital literacy status were found to be significantly higher than those who were obese. Moreover, in those with insufficient nutritional literacy, the rate of overweight/ obesity was found to be higher. University students should be encouraged with the support of experts on healthy eating habits, and campus areas should be made suitable for physical activity.
