Note. Meal healthiness was a multicategorical outcome variable with three categories (unhealthy, mixed, healthy), generating two comparisons against mixed, the reference category: (1) Unhealthy vs. mixed meals and (2) Healthy vs. mixed meals. Exercise was a dichotomous predictor (1 = post-exercise eating occasion, 0 = random eating occasion on non-exercise day). Bold denotes that the predictor was significant.

aIntercept of the hierarchical generalized linear model (HGLM) refers to when the value of both the exercise predictor = 0 (i.e., random eating occasion on non-exercise day) and meal healthiness = 0 (i.e., mixed, reference category).
