Intro

When students fail to adapt adequately this could have negative consequences
towards their health behaviours and subsequent weight status

The transition from living

on campus to off campus could be a positive or negative influence on eating behaviour

UCC campus was considered for this study. The UCC was chosen for this survey because
of its heterogeneous nature. The university consists of a wide group of people from
different parts or regions of Ghana. It also reflects the general characteristics of gender,
age, and family backgrounds, which are all essential prerequisites for this survey. The
students were randomly selected from lecture halls
The objective of this study was to investigate food habits and preferences against menu
planning for heterogeneous groups in institutions and to determine to what extent these
results on food habits and preferences can be applied to practical recommendation in
menu planning for heterogeneous groups.
