Educational interference leads to the increase of knowledge on nutrition and the enhancement of people’s attitudes to it. The Philippines and Sri Lanka, which are in the South Asian region of the world, are recognized as developing countries. With the busy schedules and hectic workload, medical students of the Philippines and Sri Lanka seem to regularly neglect and skip their meals. Therefore, the present study was carried out to determine the nutritional status and attitudes to it, among female medical students of the Philippines and Sri Lanka because medical undergraduates are the future of the health sector, and especially females are expected to play a leading role in the society. In the present study, the dietary habits, knowledge and attitudes regarding nutrition, and the nutritional status as calculated by weight, height, waist and hip circumferences, skin-fold thickness and mid upper arm circumference have been measured. The body mass index and the waist to hip ratio also have been calculated. There were 154 students in each sample. It was observed that among the tested sample of female medical students, the average height of Sri Lankans is greater than those of Filipinos. The Philippine students’ body mass index is higher than the Sri Lankans, and has more fat deposits than in the Sri Lankan students.
