This study investigated the relationship between university students' nutrition knowledge․dietary self-efficacy․eating habits and menu choice behavior. Data were collected from a sample of 335 university students in Daegu, Kyungbuk, and Busan. A structural equation modeling technique was used to test the causal model. The results indicated that objective nutrition knowledge affects dietary self-efficacy, dietary habits and menu choice behavior. The objective knowledge about nutrition has a direct influence on choosing menu. subjective knowledge about nutrition has not only a direct influence on the behavior of menu choice pursuing health but also an indirect influence on it through dietary self-efficacy. But it doesn't have a meaningful influence on the behavior of menu choice pursuing convenience and feeling. Dietary self-efficacy has a positive influence on the behavior of menu choice pursuing health and a negative influence on that of menu choice pursuing convenience and feeling directly and so does it indirectly through dietary habits as well. Dietary habits have a positive influence on the behavior of menu choice pursuing health and a negative influence on that of menu choice pursuing convenience and feeling directly and so does it indirectly through dietary self-efficacy.
