The aim of this study was to evaluate diet self-efficacy, the confidence to maintain or lose weight, and its association with physical self-concept using data from an online survey of health literacy, body image and eating disorders.

Males had a higher physical self-concept as compared to females [B = 14.0 (8.2, 19.8), p
