Individual dietary intake and nutritional status are major elements that influence mental health. COVID-19 makes the immune system weaker than its usual times. A balanced diet is necessary to recover and to prevent the immune system for fighting against the viruses. Millions of households have experienced mobility constraints and lifestyle adjustments as a result of COVID-19 over the course of several months. The aims of the research is just to see how COVID-19 affects people's lifestyles and mental health for the change of food habits among adult population in Khulna City. Primary data was used to perform this research which was collected from adult population in Khulna City with a well-organized questionnaire. For satisfying our study purposes, some statistical methods would be applied.
