Objectives: To determine the relationship between diet quality and body fat percentage before and during the Ramadan fasting period among college students at UPN "Veteran" Jakarta.

Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design with stratified random sampling. The sample size was 103 respondents. Data on respondent identity and diet quality were obtained through interviews using a questionnaire (24-hour Food Recall and DQI-I). Anthropometric data (body fat percentage) was obtained through direct measurement. Data analysis used the chi-square test and t-test.

Results: There was a significant difference in diet quality before and during the Ramadan fasting period (p=0.000). There was a significant relationship between diet quality and body fat percentage before and during the Ramadan fasting period (p=0.005; p=0.000).

Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between diet quality and body fat percentage before and during the Ramadan fasting period. Students are advised to pay attention to their nutritional status and conduct regular measurements of body fat percentage, followed by the implementation of a healthy lifestyle.
