The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between Frequency of "Snacking", Consumption of Junk Food, Screen Time with Overweight Incidence in UPN Veteran Jakarta Students. The method in this research was quantitative and used a cross sectional study design. The sample in this study was 38 samples with the simple random sampling technique. The instrument in this study was to use a questionnaire. Based on the results, there were 36.8% of subjects with more nutrition. Based on the results of the chi square test, it shows that there is a relationship between junk food consumption (p = 0,014) and screen time (p = 0,030) with the incidence of overweight. Meanwhile, the frequency of "snacking" there was no relationship with the incidence of overweight (p = 0,093). The conclusion is that there is a relationship between junk food consumption and screen time with the incidence of overweight in adolescents. There is no relationship between the frequencies of "snacking" with the incidence of overweight in adolescents.

In 2013, West Java was included in thirteen provinces with a prevalence of overnutrition above the national prevalence (Ministry of Health, Republic of Indonesia, 2013) This can be seen from the prevalence rate of over nutrition of 26,9% in 2013. Modern lifestyle will lead to adolescent nutritional status exceeding normal limits, so a teenager will experience more nutritional status This triggers adolescents to eat excessively but do not carry out physical activity, what happens is the calories that are consumed to the body are not appropriate and far more than the calories consumed during activities and during development (Izhar, 2020). A chaotic diet can have a detrimental effect on fat levels and insulin profiles (Oktaviani et al, 2012; Septiana et al, 2018) Another factor associated with being overweight is the consumption of Junk Food. Researchers were encouraged to observe the frequency of "snacking", consumption of Junk Food and Screen Time as well as its relation to the nutritional status of students of the Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta in order to obtain accurate data so that it can prevail the relationship
