The Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition Behavior and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale is a 5-point Likert-type scale. SPSS-24 package program was used for data analysis. The skewness and kurtosis values have been examined to find out whether the data had a normal distribution. As a result, it has been determined that the data had a normal distribution. Descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis have been used in the analysis of the data. Considering the research findings, it has been seen that the nutrition and mental well-being levels of sports science students were high. As a result of the correlation analysis, it has been determined that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between information about nutrition and positive nutrition dimension and mental well-being.
