Physical exercise is a voluntary, planned, structured, continuous activity aimed at developing and improving body and physical fitness. While nutrition constitutes one dimension of healthy lifestyle behaviors, exercise and physical activity constitute the other dimension. We aimed to examine the relationship between healthy nutrition levels and exercise addiction levels of students studying at the faculty of health sciences. Our study was performed on 133 students studying at Sakarya University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences. The nutrition levels of the participants were assessed with the Nutrition Exercise Behavior Scale (NEBS) and exercise dependence levels were assessed with the Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS). The mean values of age and body mass index of the subjects were 21.83±4.21 and 18.13±3.09, respectively. There were statistically significant and weak correlations between participants' healthy eating habits and exercise dependence level (r=0.386 - p
