An important need to be considered at this time is the need for macronutrients, because if you consume macronutrients in excess will have an impact on health that causes obesity and the opportunity to develop non-communicable diseases. The factor assessed in nutritional status is physical activity, which can be defined as body movements derived from skeletal muscle and involving energy in the body. This study was to determine the relationship between macronutrient intake and physical activity with body mass index (BMI) of students. Sample taken using purposive sampling amounted to 30 respondents are students of the University of Ivet Semarang.
