Abbreviations: CHO, carbohydrate; ER, estimated record; NMES, non-milk extrinsic sugars; % En, energy percentage.
% Energy values for total carbohydrate and components are reported as published. Where % energy was not given, this was calculated as intake in g × 3.75/energy in kcal × 100, since assumed to be reported as monosaccharide equivalents.
