    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    Table 1: Rigor

    Institutional Review Board StatementIRB: The NutriNet-Santé study is conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and all procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Board of the French Institute for Health and Medical Research (IRB Inserm 0000388FWA00005831) and by the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL 908,450 and 909,216).
    Consent: All participants provided informed consent with an electronic signature; this study is registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03335644).
    RandomizationIn particular, dietary intakes are assessed every 6 months as part of the usual cohort follow-up using three non-consecutive 24h dietary records randomly assigned over two weeks and including two weekdays and one weekend day.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.

    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    However, some limitations should be acknowledged. Indeed, the NutriNet-Santé study is a long-term prospective study focusing on nutrition and health and based on continued voluntary recruitment since 2009. This implies that the NutriNet-Santé population is composed of more women and individuals with overall higher socioeconomic position compared to the general French population [32,33]. All the analyses were weighted to improve representativeness to overcome this bias. Still, our study likely does not accurately capture the experience of more disadvantaged or older populations. Besides, NutriNet-Santé participants show an interest in nutrition and health and may therefore adopt healthier nutritional behaviours than the overall French population and to consciously rethink their nutritional behaviours to adapt to the new situation and make the most out of it. Still, trends of unfavourable nutritional behaviours during lockdown were observed in this more “health-conscious” population, which raises even more concerns for the general population. To conclude, our results suggested that the lockdown led, in a substantial part of the population, to unhealthy nutritional behaviours that, if maintained in the long term, may increase the nutrition-related burden of disease [3]. A particular vigilance will therefore be needed to assess whether individuals return to healthier nutritional habits at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially considering that unfavourable nutritional behav...
