Introduction: The Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) has been carried out in Indonesia in early 2020 as an effort to prevent the global spread of Covid-19. The enforcement of distant learning can cause other problems, such as increased sedentary behaviour and obesity. This study aimed to analyse the physical activity and nutritional status of West Java college students during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design and conducted 1-2 months after the enforcement of the Large-Scale Social Restrictions in West Java. 330 students from 11 universities volunteered to become respondents of the study by filling out a questionnaire on Google Form. The IPAQ instrument was used to determine the level of physical activity and BMI to find out the nutritional status. Data were analysed by using the multinomial logistic regression. Results: The results showed 73.3% students have normal nutritional status and 40.6% performed the vigorous physical activity. Nutritional status did not correlate with physical activity of students (p=0.555, p> 0.5) but correlate with characteristics and physical activity as a model (p=0.021, p< 0.05). Study program partially correlate with nutritional status (p=0.008, p<0.05). Conclusion: The study concludes that age, sex, study program, and physical activity had a significant effect on nutritional status, although physical activity did not partially affect them.
