Among women, T1 body appreciation directly predicted T3 <em>body–food choice congruence</em>. Additionally, body appreciation indirectly predicted <em>unconditional permission to eat</em>, <em>eating for physical rather than emotional reasons</em>, and <em>reliance on hunger and satiety cues</em> at T3 via its effect on T2 body image flexibility. Among men, T1 body appreciation indirectly predicted T3 <em>eating for physical rather than emotional reasons</em> via T2 body image flexibility.
