The aim of this diploma thesis was to establish the daily energy intake and macronutrients consumption of students of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry (University of Zagreb), and based on the results, to conclude the extent to which they match the recommended dietary standards of an adequate food intake for the mentioned population group. The study included 9 males and 21 females aged 22 to 24 years. The dietetic method used in this study is a four-day food diary. The filled out food diaries were processed in the Microsoft Excel 2016 program using the USDA charts and national charts (Kaić-Rak and Antonić, 1990) with nutritional values for food and drink. The data analysis shows that the mean daily energy intake for both groups of participants is lower than the recommended values. While the mean dietary intake of protein, carbohydrate and cholesterol is above the recommended levels, the mean intake of saturated and polyunsaturated fats is within the recommendations. Also, while the mean intake of dietary fiber in men was close to the top limit of the recommendation, in women it was higher than the recommended levels. The contribution of carbohydrate and fat to total caloric intake was within the recommendations for both men and women. The contribution of protein to total caloric intake was above the recommendation. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the students in one part meet the requirements of healthy eating habits, while in the other they deviate from the same. In order to fully meet the requirements of healthy eating, it is necessary to properly educate students, and even the wider population, about healthy eating habits and the necessary physical activity. To accomplish this, the help of professionals is needed, including pharmacists, whose individual approach and consultation can make a contribution.
