Summary
This study tests four nutrition programs—meal kits, ready-to-eat meals, cooking classes, and motivational texts—in 400 adults with overweight or obesity who use food pantries. The goal is to see which approach best improves diet quality and food security, with the aim of reducing type 2 diabetes risk. Participants will be followed for several months to measure changes in eating habits and diabetes-related health.
