Vegetarian healthy dietary pattern (VEG); beef healthy dietary pattern (BEEF). 1 Prescribed dietary intakes were averaged across a 7-day menu cycle. Results are presented as unadjusted means ± SDs. a The difference between VEG and BEEF dietary patterns was assessed by a two-tailed paired samples t-test, p < 0.05.
