        abstract = {Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology in the field of healthcare, including nutrition and diet planning. It offers new possibilities for personalized dietary guidance and improved nutritional awareness among individuals. In recent years, the use of AI-based applications among young adults has increased significantly; however, its actual influence on dietary behaviour remains unclear. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude and perceived impact of Artificial Intelligence in nutrition and diet planning among college students. A quantitative, descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 college students in Chandigarh using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a self-structured questionnaire consisting of sections on knowledge, attitude and perceived impact and were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings revealed that a majority of respondents had good knowledge regarding AI in nutrition and diet planning. Most respondents exhibited a neutral to slightly positive attitude towards AI. However, the perceived impact of AI on dietary habits was found to be low, with a majority reporting minimal or no influence. The study highlights a gap between knowledge and practical application of AI in nutrition. It is recommended that awareness programs, practical training and integration of AI related concepts into educational curricula should be promoted to enhance its effective use in diet planning.},
