Communicable diseases are emerging globally at an unprecedented rate and affect all life aspects. Novel coronavirus spread all over the world and affects all health and economic parameters and food is not an exception. During the past years, prevalence of food insecurity and weight gain becomes results of infectious diseases. This interaction has not been generalised in all communities, because findings differ based on household income, race/ethnicity, sex and age. Several hypotheses try to explain the association between food insecurity and weight gain and communicable diseases especially in stressed circumstances such as outbreak of Covid- 19. This review tries to provide a conceptual proposal linking weight gain, food insecurity and outbreak of Covid- 19. This link will help to make welfare reform, policy changes, and poverty prevention and reduce negative health impact of weight and obesity.
