Objective: This study aimed to assess supplement use, nutritional habits, and dietary intakes in collegiate athletes. Participants and Methods: One hundred twenty-seven athletes participated in this study. The questionnaire was conducted by the researcher using face-to-face interview method. Results: The energy intake was 3084.3±1564.0 kcal in women and 3981.9±1531.7 kcal in men. Energy and all nutrient intakes were above the recommended level. It was found that 49.6% of the athletes used nutritional supplements (?2 days/week over the past year). The most used supplements were sports drinks (33.1%), multivitamin/ mineral supplements (26.0%), and protein powder (21.3%).

Conclusion: It was concluded that the athletes mostly obtained the information about supplements from coaches and internet. It was determined that the use of supplements was high among the athletes and their dietary consumption was higher than the energy and nutrient requirements of the athletes. © Mattioli 1885.
