Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). To discern the effect of each food preference test on measures within each of the four groups (before vs. during the food preference test), a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (food preference test × time in days) was performed for each of the four groups. The post hoc comparisons for time are not shown for simplicity and relevance
