Different letters indicate significant differences at p<0.05.

Percentages of children whose usual intake of energy from solid fats and added sugars combined was within the maximum discretionary calorie allowances.

Percentages of children whose usual intakes of solids fats and added sugars respectively were within the example amounts found in the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which show how the discretionary calorie allowance could be divided.

Children of other race/ethnicity (n=629) are excluded from the analysis by race/ethnicity.
