Data analysis was conducted. the average physical fitness test score of the surveyed college students was 71.84 ± 9.61. the correct response rate for nutrition knowledge ranged from 31.06% to 96.89%, with an overall accuracy rate of 64.39%. the surveyed students had a relatively positive attitude towards nutrition. However, most students exhibited unhealthy eating behaviors. There was no statistical significance between nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors and BMI values or total physical fitness test scores (P > 0.05). College students in the surveyed university in Liuzhou possess a certain level of nutrition knowledge and have a positive attitude towards nutrition, but they struggle to translate this knowledge into action, showing poor initiative in nutrition behaviors. Therefore, measures should be taken based on the nutrition status of college students in the university to improve their physical health.
