This research aims to analyze how emotion affects students’ eating behavior. The participants are 20 students from 8th grade from one private school in Bandung, Indonesia. The method of this research used descriptive data. This participant has completed interviews and fulfilled students’ eating behavior questionnaires. The indicators are emotional over-eating and emotional under-eating. The result of the data showed that negative and positive emotions (sadness, stress, and happiness) can affect students’ food intake. Students also have emotional eating that is followed by positive feelings that affect food consumption. It identified that students likely eat unhealthy foods and implement unhealthy eating habits. In conclusion, students should be educated on how to handle emotions in eating to prevent unhealthy eating and practice a healthy lifestyle such as controlling their eating by consuming healthy foods.
