Adolescents are vulnerable to unhealthy eating habits due to increased independence in choosing food and strong peer influence, which can lead to nutritional problems such as being underweight or overweight. This study aims to determine the level of Health Behavior Motivation (HBM) related to eating habits among 11th-grade high school students in the health cluster. This study used a descriptive quantitative method with prospective data collection through a questionnaire. The study population was all 11th-grade students in the health cluster at Budi Cendikia Islamic High School. The study sample consisted of 42 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that among the respondents, the component with the highest HBM score was perceived benefits, with 88% included in the “High” category; self-efficacy had the largest proportion in the “Medium” category at 64%; and perceived barriers had the highest proportion in the “Low” category at 19%. The HBM level of 11th-grade students in the health cluster at Budi Cendikia Islamic School was mostly in the “High” category at 55%. However, the fact that the self-efficacy and cues to action components remained in the “Moderate” category indicates a gap between beliefs and actual eating behavior.
