Figure 2.

Relationship between percentage of EI from dietary macronutrients and water (expressed in g 100 g⁻¹) and energy density of the diet (kcal g⁻¹) (predictor variables) and total energy intake (kcal d⁻¹). Analysis was derived from 6155 subjects self-recording their food intake by 24 h dietary recall over 4 days [77,78]. No corrections for plausibility of dietary energy intake were made. Sloping lines were a random sample of 40 individual regression lines, based on 4 days, to give an indication of inter-individual variation. All associations were significant at p < 0.001.
