In this table all participant data has been collated together and averages are presented for all 17 participants, based on their food diary recordings. The information demonstrates the average total amount of energy (kJ) consumed by participants in each food group, per day. Further analysis also demonstrates the percentage of energy each food group contributes to overall energy intakes. p-values are Wilcoxon analysis comparing data collected in 2019 to data collected in 2020. Significance was set at p=0.05. kJ= kilojoules.
