Summary
This study tests whether personalized nutrition advice, combined with behavioral support, helps university students eat more legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Sixty-six healthy students aged 18-30 will receive either tailored dietary recommendations or standard advice. The main goal is to see if the personalized approach increases legume intake after 4 weeks.
