TABLE 4.

Energy-Adjusted Nutrient Intakes as a Function of Egg Consumption Status (n = 234)

Nutrient	Consumers^†	Mean ± std dev	^*p value³
Total protein¹ (grams)	Egg consumers	.036 ± .007	.011^*
	Non-consumers	.034 ± .009
Animal protein² (grams)	Egg consumers	.025 ± .007	.020^*
	Non-consumers	.022 ± .010
Fat (grams)	Egg consumers	.036 ± .010	.017^*
	Non-consumers	.033 ± .009

^†

Data derived from a single 24-hour dietary recall. Egg consumers (n = 111) and Non-consumers (n = 123) during the previous day. Energy adjustment was calculated dividing each individual nutrient by the total energy intake in kcal.

Total protein is the sum of animal and vegetable protein.

Animal protein is the protein from animal products, including meat, eggs and dairy foods.

Independent sample t-test analyses were used to compare the mean energy-adjusted nutrient intakes between egg consumers and non-consumers (two-tailed). Nutrient contribution from prenatal supplements not included.

Significance level at p < .05.
