Abstrakt:	Introduction: Although the informal economy absorbs a considerable portion of the population, there is still little evidence that contributes to identify the lifestyles and eating habits that outline food insecurity in workers with subsistence jobs. Objectives: To determine the profile of food insecurity according to habits and lifestyles in workers with subsistence jobs. Methods: Cross-sectional study with primary sources of information, obtained through an assisted survey, to a census of 686 workers in 2016. The results of the nutritional component of a doctoral thesis approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of the CES University, Medellín, Colombia, are presented. Results: In this working population, 52.6% were 50 years or old; however, 86.1% reported being the main household provider, and 33.3% did not have a permit to work in public areas. Moreover, 56.8% reported being sedentary/little active, and the highest consumption of alcohol and tobacco was recorded in men, who also ate their food alone. Conversely, women considered that mood affected their appetite, and they consumed their food while serving customers and handling money. In general, less than 50.0% of workers had a set time to consume their food. Food insecurity in workers' households was explained by alcohol consumption (prevalence ratio = 1.62; confidence interval = 1.05;2.38) and having exclusive hours to consume food (prevalence ratio = 1.40; confidence interval = 1.00;1.96). Their food insecurity is defined by not consuming alcoholic beverages, considering that their mood affects their appetite, consuming one or two meals a day, without a defined schedule, not having permission to work, presenting moderate/severe food insecurity, and being a woman. Conclusions: The conditions that explain and outline food insecurity in this working population contribute to their socio-environmental and labor vulnerability, however, these conditions can be reversed.
