Mean ± SD; N=16.

a

Mean percent consumed of average daily planned content of high- and low-glycemic load diets was between 97 ± 3 and 99% ± 2;

b

Based on data reported in Nutrition Data System for Research (version 2005, Nutrition Coordinating Center, University of Minnesota);

c

Based on calculation using 4 kcal/g protein, 9 kcal/g fat, 4 kcal/g available carbohydrate.

Star (*) indicates p values < 0.05 for paired t test of means, comparing high and low glycemic load.
