OBJECTIVE: To assess associations between intuitive eating behaviors and fruit and vegetable intake among college students. METHODS: Intuitive eating behaviors were measured with the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2), which reports a total and 4 subscale scores. Fruit and vegetable intake was measured with the National Institutes of Health Eating at America's Table Fruit and Vegetable screener. Questionnaires were completed online. RESULTS: Median age of participants was 20 years (nâ¯=â¯293; nâ¯=â¯72 male). Total IES-2 score was not correlated with fruit and vegetable intake. Body-Food Choice Congruence and Eating for Physical Rather Than Emotional Reasons subscales were positively associated with fruit and vegetable intake (râ¯=â¯.462, P < .001 and râ¯=â¯.177, Pâ¯=â¯.002, respectively). The Unconditional Permission to Eat subscale was negatively associated with fruit and vegetable intake (râ¯=â¯-.308, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Correlations between fruit and vegetable intake and intuitive eating behaviors differed by IES-2 subscale scores. If IES-2 is used in nutrition research, education, or counseling with the aim of increasing fruit and vegetable intake, addressing subscale behaviors individually might be considered.
