The issue of eating behaviour may be considered both from the perspective of medical and social science. Unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical activity (PA) are well known risk factors for the appearance of many chronic diseases in adulthood. Along with sedentary lifestyle they are the main cause of the increasing prevalence of obesity in adolescents. The aim of this paper is to present eating habits of students in light of Polish and international research within different variables. Polish and international research conducted on a possibly large study material were used for comparison. It can be concluded that there are many irregularities with reference to eating behaviours. The most common nutrition mistakes made by teenagers are not eating breakfast and snacking between meals (usually sweets, chips, fast-food products).
