This paper used raw data of 'Food Consumption Behavior Survey in 2015' conducted by the Korea Rural Economic Institute. In order to analyze the factors affecting the satisfaction of adolescents' eating habits, an ordered probit model was used. The results showed that the factors affecting adolescents' diet satisfaction were age of food purchaser in the household, household income, and the number of household members. In addition, the main food purchaser's interest in health, the regular eating habits, the number of times adolescents did not eat breakfast for a week, and the fruit snack consumption also affected satisfaction.
