Conditional mean differences in energy and food intake during transition periods versus non-transition periods

	All transition periods (T1, T2, T4, T5*) vs. Non- transition periods (T3, T6*)			Hour before drop-off and hour after pickup (T1, T5*) vs. Non-transition periods (T3, T6*)			Hour after drop-off and hour before pickup (T2, T4*) vs. Non-transition periods (T3, T6*)
Energy/food	β	S.E.	p-value	β	S.E.	p-value	β	S.E.	p-value
Total energy intake (kcal)	−353.84	15.17	<0.001	−300.10	21.61	<0.001	−399.25	18.96	<0.001
Added sugar (grams)	13.92	2.78	<0.001	20.22	3.40	<0.001	8.59	2.91	0.003

Note. Coefficients obtained using hierarchical linear regression adjusted for CACFP status, race (White/Non-White), and single vs couple status.

All estimates reflect values per 1,000 kcal (except total energy intake).
