AB The university stage is a crucial stage that influences the decision-making process ofstudents. At this stage, they acquire dietary habits that are guided by their likes, beauty ideals,biological influences, and economic factors. During the COVID-19 pandemic, universities closed andturned to online teaching, changing their life habits under the duress of confinement. The aim ofthe present work was to identify the dietary behaviours of nursing and engineering degree studentsat the University of Huelva during the period of confinement, in addition to identifying the factorsinfluencing these habits. The methodological strategy employed was mixed in nature. In this sense, across-sectional descriptive study was first performed, followed by a phenomenological qualitativestudy that was descriptive in nature. Examination of outcomes revealed the presence of four lines ofargument founded on the influence of context, life habits, emotional changes experienced duringthe COVID-19 pandemic, and the factors facilitating or limiting adaption to this period. Taking intoaccount that confinement, restrictive measures, the absence of family, closeness and affection, andtraining influenced changes to feeding habits and approaches to consumption, universities couldcarry out interventions oriented in this line to favour healthy eating habits
