  1. CHO carbohydrate, SFA saturated fatty acid, MUFA mono-unsaturated fatty acid.
  2. Calculated by T-Test for energy intake and multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for other variables. All the variables, except energy, were adjusted for age and energy intake and presented as mean and standard error. Data in the Total column is presented as mean and SD.
