Note: Food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) data for beef and non-beef lunch group at baseline (FFQ 1) and during the intervention (FFQs 2–5). Adj = Adjusted value expressed as per 1000 kcals (4.184 MJ); * p < 0.01 main effect of FFQ number (baseline vs. intervention); † p < 0.05 main effect of group; p < 0.01 effect of interaction of group × FFQ number; p < 0.01 Tukey’s post-hoc comparison of beef vs. non-beef.
