Previous research has shown much variation in the stress-dietary behavior relationship. To better understand this relationship, we draw on insights from cross-stressor adaptation theory to investigate whether exercise influences the relationship between challenge stressors and dietary behavior of college students. To test our hypothesis, we conducted two studies. In the first study, we examined how much students experience challenge stressors at school and asked how many days per week they exercise and what their dietary choices were like that day. In the second study, we examined how much participants experienced challenge stressors at school and assessed the amount of time they spent exercising per week and their general dietary behaviors. Results from both studies indicate that the relationship between challenge stressors and healthy dietary behaviors is enhanced for students who engage in more exercise. Overall, our findings illustrate yet another mechanism whereby exercise positively influences people’s health
