Mean (± SD) negative affect (min and max possible scores = 10–50) and snack intake from our sample of women compared between stress and rest days (n = 26).

	Rest day	Stress day	Rest vs. Stress
Baseline negative affect	14.1 (±6.3)	12.7 (±2.7)	F(1, 24) = 1.9, p = 0.19
Post-rest or post-stress negative affect	11.1 (±3.2)	19.4 (±7.2)	F(1, 24) = 59.2, p < 0.0001
Post-eating negative affect	12.1 (±3.7)	14.2 (±5.0)	F(1, 24) = 6.2, p = 0.02
Snack intake	494.9 (±270.6)	464.3 (±276.4)	F(1, 24) = 0.5, p = 0.49
