dc.description.abstract<b>Introduction:</b> Collegiate athletes face unique lifestyle circumstances compared to other athletic populations that can affect their daily nutrition habits. <b>Purpose:</b> To understand student-athletes (SAs) dietary habits and identify barriers faced by SAs that impact food intake. <b>Methods:</b> Cross-sectional study using an 89-question survey. <b>Results:</b> Thirty percent of SAs included in this study reported not consistently eating 3 meals per day and 46% reported being hungry before going to bed. Almost 75% of SAs reported that they were not able to access high quality food on campus and 80% reported that their daily schedule limited their ability to cook and prepare meals. More than half of SAs reported worrying about running out of food due to a lack of money. <b>Conclusion:</b> Lack of time, financial issues, and limited access to food on campus were prevalent barriers that affected nutritional intake
