The school closures, precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, required teachers to convert their entire classroom curricula to online formats, taught from home. This shift to a more sedentary teaching environment, coupled with the stresses related to the pandemic, may correlate with weight gain. In total, 52% of study participants reported weight gain, with a higher prevalence observed among kindergarten and elementary school teachers when compared to high school teachers ( p &lt; 0.05). Deviations in physical activity, emotional eating, and dietary patterns were assessed among 129 teachers (using the Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire, the Dutch Eating Behavioral Questionnaire, and a short-form Food Frequency Questionnaire, respectively) to uncover possible associations with the observed weight gain. Increases in sedentariness ( p &lt; 0.005), emotional eating ( p &lt; 0.001), the consumption of potatoes, fries, breads, cheese, cake ( p &lt; 0.05), chips, candy, ice-cream, and soft drinks ( p &lt; 0.005) were all positively correlated with weight gain. Decreases in exercise frequency ( p &lt; 0.001), and the consumption of fruits ( p &lt; 0.05) and beans ( p &lt; 0.005), were also positively correlated with weight gain. Weight gain, observed among teachers during school closures, was associated with changes in diet, emotional eating and physical activity.
