To conclude, although dietary habits were improved during home lockdown, certain unhealthy behaviours (e.g. Low MedDiet adherence was associated with a higher risk of weight gain (OR = 1.53, CI 1.1–2.1 p = 0.016), while no snacking between meals reduced the risk by 80% (OR = 0.20, CI 0.09–0.45, p < 0.001) and eating more quantity, considering portion size, increased body weight gain risk almost sixfold more. However, a negative impact on physical activity levels, sleep quality or smoking rates was observed. Most of the Spanish participants adopted healthier dietary habits during home lockdown, which was translated to a higher MedDiet adherence.
