Abstract in brief

This study explored how daily stress influences comfort food snacking among college students and found that overall (between-person) stress levels are linked to more snacking, but day-to-day fluctuations (within-person) are not necessarily connected.
Mindfulness, a psychological skill that can be improved through training, appeared to weaken the link between stress and comfort food eating, especially for individuals who are more mindful.
The findings suggest that managing chronic stress and enhancing mindfulness could be effective strategies for promoting healthier eating habits, particularly for young adults at risk of unhealthy junk food consumption.]
