^*Compared with the pre-pregnancy diet.

^†Data were missing on eggs (n 1), milk (n 1), nuts (n 2), Indian jujubes (n 1), guava (n 4), pineapple (n 2), cauliflower (n 2), tomato (n 2) and red leafy vegetables (n 2).

^‡OR represent the risk of eating less of each food item comparing those who ate less with those who did not eat less, calculated using mixed-model logistic regression, including the random effect of cluster. The models for eating less poultry, other dairy and nuts did not include the random effect of cluster due to a failure in the model to converge.
