1. Interventions n=10

   • Negative n=10 "I think the university needs to do something. Obviously, I'm on the sports science course and do nutrition and stuff, so I kind of just know about it, but people in other courses don't have a clue. There's not, from what I've seen, there's nothing in place to promote that healthy eating. There could be like workshops and stuff on like cooking and stuff like that." (P6)
   • Positive n=2 "At the gym (at home) there’s this poster on the wall and it's literally just a weekly challenge and it just says like across the week cook these two meals and it says here's the website with the tutorial of them on. There's a little picture of them and it's just two random meals. Every week they change it and then you go to the gym at any point in that week and you see that."; "I think that's good because it just kind of gets people getting get creative with it and like switching up what they eat." (P9)

2. Support n=10

   • Positive n=7 "I would just say my family and my peers. It is a lot easier to eat healthily when people around you are eating healthier." (P4)
   • Negative n=7 "No one at the gym or no one at a Sports Club or no one at university has ever come to me and said, I want you to eat this certain way."; "No one really from that those environments has come to me and pushed me to do it." (P1)

3. Conformity n=6

   • Positive n=1 "Eating unhealthy is just presumed as bad, isn't it? So obviously you go against that and then obviously, eating healthy you’re going to look a bit better because you’re eating cleaner. I’d say that's a social thing. You want to look good." (P6)
   • Negative n=5 "I think social pressures is a big thing in terms of the weekend, especially in the UK, it's heavily revolved around drinking on a weekend. So as I say, if you decide not to drink, then you're missing out essentially. So as far as social pressure going out, having a drink, getting a takeaway, or going out for a meal with your mates on a weekend, yeah."; "I'd also say it's the social pressure of eating healthy to look good."
