Relationship between dietary concentration of a nutrient and its consumption. Actual consumption of nutrients can differ greatly from predictions based solely on dietary composition. As (A) caloric and (B) carbohydrate content of the diet increases, actual consumption of calories and carbohydrate, respectively, does not concurrently increase. (C) Protein content of the diet shows a positive trend with actual protein intake, although the correlation is statistically insignificant. Two-tailed p-values for the Pearson correlation coefficient are shown along with a linear trendline. All data are for Canton-S males.
