Difference between codes and themes?

H

Hi,

I have codes, some that I have combined to become main codes.

I now feel like the main codes are actually themes. Are they?

Let me give an example. Say I asked people why they ate chocolate everyday?

The reasons (main codes) were: pleasure, greed, hunger, elevated mood, and distraction.

Are these high level 'reasons' codes or themes?
