Changes in total calories were divided by 1000 to facilitate interpretation of the estimated effect.

When both % fat and % carbohydrate intake were entered simultaneously into the model, % fat remained statistically significant (B = −0.041, p = 0.044) while % carbohydrate became non-significant (B = −0.008, p = 0.57).
