Abstract	The objective of the present study was to elucidate what student-athletes believe are the most significant barriers to consuming a healthy diet. 418 student-athletes at an NCAA Division 1 university were invited to complete a survey on their nutritional habits and barriers to healthy eating. The survey was designed utilizing the current literature in student-athletes and young adults and underwent a professional review and pilot study before use in data collection. 169 student-athletes (40%) fully completed the survey. Responses indicate the five most significant barriers are lack of time, easy access to unhealthy foods, cost of healthy foods, lack of knowledge about what foods are healthy, and lack of knowledge and skills to cook healthy foods, respectively. Further, data show significant relationships between several variables and the rate of selection of various barriers. Overall, these findings lay the groundwork for future interventions while also presenting initial, usable information for professionals. (As Provided).
