Impacts of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the dietary practices of university students in Germany.

Purpose: The dietary practices (DPs) of university students are influenced by many external factors. Therefore, we investigate how the DPs of students in Germany changed during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, what the main motivations were for those changes, and what effect the closure of university catering had on the DPs of students.

Methods: A total of 560 students from two universities in Lübeck (Germany) were surveyed online during a pilot phase.
