There is indeed a risk of normalizing unhealthy eating behaviors as a result of the flexibility in mealtime routines during the pandemic. The absence of structured mealtimes and the availability of snacks at all hours can contribute to mindless or emotional eating, excessive calorie consumption, and reliance on processed or convenience foods that are often high in sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats. Moreover, prolonged periods of stress or boredom may lead individuals to seek comfort in food, resulting in a pattern of emotional overeating. Over time, these behaviors can become ingrained as part of one's daily routine, potentially leading to weight gain and poor nutritional habits.
