Instrumentasi penelitian menggunakan kuesioner dan food recall 24 hours. Analisa data menggunakan uji statistik pearson. Hasil : Sebagian besar responden memiliki pengetahuan gizi yang masih kurang (56.5%). Berdasarkan uji statistik, terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan gizi seimbang dengan asupan makan berdasarkan asupan besi (p=0.004). Namun, tidak ada hubungan berdasarkan asupan energi (p=0.138) dan asupan protein (p=0.165). Simpulan : Ada hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan gizi seimbang dengan asupan besi. Akan tetapi, tidak ada hubungan antara pengetahuan gizi seimbang dengan asupan energi dan asupan protein.
