Self-efficacy of monitoring eating choices associated with autonomy, fruit and vegetable intake and BMI in the MOVE’M Study

Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake is inadequate in the US. Improving FV intake is associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases and a lower BMI. Autonomy for food-related tasks and self-efficacy of monitoring dietary intake are factors that can potentially influence FV intake. In this study baseline data collected from the Move and Moderate in Balance (MOVE’M) study conducted Seattle worksites was used to evaluate the relationships between these variables.
