All this with the aim of determining the relationship between beauty stereotypes and eating habits of the study group. Therefore, interviews were conducted with 5 people who met all the expected requirements, which were: being men, ages ranging from 18 to 25 years old, and suffering from some alteration with their body image. After the analysis of the findings, information was obtained about the effects of beauty stereotypes on them, in addition to determining their influence on eating behaviors, so that, finally, the results obtained could be related to the bibliographic review of various authors who have treated about similar topics. As a final result, it was found that excessive concern for body image results in a large number of young people abusing diets based on a high protein intake, which also causes disturbances in eating behavior. Therefore, it is essential to delve deeper into this topic, in order to create tools that help in the early detection of alterations and redesign programs that help in prevention and intervention aimed specifically at men. This is a first attempt to get closer to finding new paths that allow shaping a full life with the perception of a healthy body image.
