Intuitive eating scale (IES-2)
Intuitive eating scale (IES-2) consists of 23 questions, each of which includes five options ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. A 5-point Likert scale was used in the scale. In 1,2,3,7,8,9,10 questions, strongly disagree 5, disagree 4, undecided 3, agree 2 and strongly agree 1 point. The scoring of the answers to the other questions is in the opposite order (strongly disagree 1, disagree 2, undecided 3, agree 4, and strongly agree 5 points). The scale score was calculated by dividing the total score obtained at the end of the questions by 23. Intuitive eating behavior also increases in parallel with the increase in the scale score. The median values of the Intuitive Eating Scores of the students participating in the study were found. Participants with a scale score below the median value were considered as having no intuitive eating behavior, and participants with a median value and above were considered individuals with intuitive eating behavior

Power of food scale (PFS)
Power of food scale (PFS) is a scale developed to evaluate the effects of palatable foods on the psychological and hedonic states of individuals. The Turkish version with a reliability study was used in this study (PFS-Tr) A validated version of this scale consisting of 15 items was used. The scale was evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale. Accordingly, I strongly disagree 1 point, I disagree 2 points, I am undecided 3 points, I agree 4 points, and I strongly agree 5 points. The scores obtained from all items were divided into five and the scale score was found. It was concluded that the hedonic hunger levels of individuals with a nutritional power score of 2.5 and above increased. It has been accepted that individuals with a high score are sensitive to the food environment and psychologically under the influence of food

Food Craving Questionnaire (FCQ)
Food Craving Questionnaire (FCQ) is a scale developed for the assessment of food cravings. The Turkish version with a reliability study was used in this study (FCQ-T).
