Nutrition literacy is the ability obtain, process, and understand nutrition information, and is necessary but not sufficient for dietary change. Thus, obtaining information on the relationship between nutrition literacy and food choices can serve as a foundation for future interventions. The aims of this study were a) to characterize the nutrition literacy of a sample of undergraduate students, b) to examine differences in nutrition literacy between male and female as well as upper- and lower-year level students, and c) to examine associations between nutrition literacy and snack selection. Undergraduate students (n =130) from Saint Louis University completed the Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument (NLit). After a filler task, they were offered a selection of snacks to be used as a sample of real-world food choice behavior. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample and their scores on the NLit as well as their snack choices. A series of T-tests was used to make mean comparisons between nutrition literacy by gender and year. Chi-square tests were used to examine trends in snack selection and snack type. The results showed that women had higher nutrition literacy than men, although their snack selection was not significantly different. There were no significant differences in nutrition literacy or snack selection between lower- and upper-year students. Nutrition literacy was not significantly correlated with actual food choice for any groups in this study. These results provide important information on the nutrition literacy of a key demographic group, as well as how this knowledge is associated with snack selection.
