Statistical values are means and standard deviations (shown in parentheses) and ranges [shown in Brackets]

^ap < 0.01 level

^bp < 0.0001 level

^cTotal possible days = 178

^dDietary discrepancy scores were defined by the following formula: [(Actual value − Prescribed value)/Prescribed value] × 100
