Background: University students are vulnerable to abnormal nutritional status. According to the Indonesia Health Study (SKI) 2023, the prevalence of undernutrition and obesity among adults in Yogyakarta Special Region is 9.3% and 24.6%, respectively. Abnormal nutritional status can be influenced by emotional eating, defined as eating beyond normal limits to improve emotional conditions. This abnormal eating behavior needs to be addressed, one method being the practice of mindful eating—consuming food with full awareness and focus. Objective: To investigate the relationship between mindful eating and emotional eating with the nutritional status of Universitas Gadjah Mada students.

Statistical analysis was conducted using the Spearman Rank correlation test. Results: Descriptive analysis showed that most Universitas Gadjah Mada students had moderate levels of mindful eating (51.4%), low levels of emotional eating (44.3%), and normal nutritional status (55%). Bivariate analysis found no relationship between mindful eating (p-value = 0.803) and emotional eating (p-value = 0.893) with nutritional status. However, there was a negative relationship between mindful eating and emotional eating (p-value <0>Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between mindful eating and emotional eating with nutritional status, but there is a relationship between mindful eating and emotional eating among Universitas Gadjah Mada students.
