College Students Have Eating Disorders (Real Statistics)

February 15, 2023 By Daniel Louwrens

Eating disorder statistics in college students image

With so many different influencers saying what they say online, and various other platforms messing with our minds, it’s no wonder that college students might get confused about eating habits. Of course, eating disorders can be life-threatening, and it’s thus critical that we address any and all eating-related issues that may arise.

Treatment for eating disorders is still not up to par. There’s a big stigma against those suffering from eating disorders, and with movements like “fat shaming” on the rise, you can probably understand why it can be hard to talk about them.

Food is part of our culture and livelihood, so it would make sense why someone might be a bit afraid to speak of their problems with it.

But for now, we’re going to look at how these disorders affect young people in life, particularly those in college. These folks are young and have their whole lives ahead of them… Do they really need more pressure from the media to look a certain way?

College student obesity statistics image

Welcome to the US of A — where 70%+ of adults are overweight, 7-Eleven serves up diabetes in a cup (64 oz. Double Gulps), and overweight airline passengers need to buy two dang seats!

(Read it in Cletus’s voice from GTA 5 for the full effect.)

Obesity in America isn’t a new concept, but it certainly is a discouraging one. In fact, US obesity rates have more than doubled since 1980, even in the health-conscious Generation Z.

Freshman 15 statistics image

Psh, fifteen?! Those are rookie numbers.

The “Freshman 15” is a rite of passage for first-year college students everywhere, sandwiched between alcohol-fueled nights, bottomless meals at on-campus dining halls, frat parties, and homecoming football games.

Fast food in schools statistics image

Gen Z honestly lucked out in one sense: school lunches.

No, really, if you were a 90s kid stuck with a cheese slice wedged between slices of white bread, weirdly greasy 6-inch cookies, and ice-cold chicken nuggets, you’re really missing out. Modern school lunches are now healthier than ever, with whole grains, vegetables, and fruits on trays.

But some districts also had the genius idea of adding fast food — like burgers, fries, soda, and fried chicken — into the cafeteria line somewhere between the apples and the coleslaw.

Bummer alert! Check out these 11 down-right depressing statistics about fast food in schools.

But for us Millennials (also known as Gen Y), we finally have something to brag about:

We’re fitness freaks!
