Abstract
ABSTRACT Food insecure populations are in need of targeted nutritional interventions and understanding their food behaviors can inform effective weekday-based health campaigns. We examine weekday preference in healthy eating, cooking, and cooking with children among food pantry clients in Baltimore City. A cross-sectional survey of 74 food pantry clients was conducted on weekday-based preferences of these behaviors. Compared to Monday, clients were more likely to eat healthy on Friday (p = .04), Thursday (p = .04), and Saturday (p = .002), and more likely to cook on Sunday (p = .002). Future interventions should consider weekday preferences in nutrition campaigns (nutrition knowledge, food skills) among food insecure populations.
