The results showed that the most likely factor to trigger stress was related to the study workload. About 44.6% of the subjects were found to be an emotional eaters. There was significant correlation of stress level, energy, protein, and carbohydrate intake with nutritional status (p<0.05). Based on the result, stress was an important factor that can influence the nutritional status
