Pearson correlations examining associations between hormone variables, covariates, and average emotional eating scores (across the mid-luteal phase).

Hormone variables and covariates		Correlations with Emotional Eating
		r	p
Estrogen	Maximum during Ovulation	0.10	.12
	Minimum during Transition to Mid-Luteal	0.07	.25
	Difference Score	< 0.01	.97
Progesterone	Minimum during Transition to Mid-Luteal	−0.02	.72
	Maximum during Mid-Luteal	−0.05	.39
	Difference Score	−0.03	.63
Negative Affect	Maximum during Ovulation	0.01	.88
	Maximum during Mid-Luteal	0.08	.18
	Minimum during Transition to Mid-Luteal	0.06	.30
	Difference Score Ovulation to Mid-Luteal	−0.07	.17
Body Mass Index	Mean BMI	−0.05	.38

Note: Difference score = maximum – minimum hormone; Mean BMI = average BMI across all three study visits.
