Values are mean ± SEM (n = 25,351). Survey weights and adjustment for the complex survey design were properly applied allowing inference to the non-institutionalized U.S. population. Total numbers do not always add to sample size due to missing values. Percentages do not always add to 100 due to rounding. Abbreviations: CHO: carbohydrates; IFIC: International Food Information Council Foundation.
