Note. MI= minimal intervention. The sample size was n = 275. Mean gestation was 18.6 weeks.

a

P value of Student’s t-test; all nutrient intakes (except for percentage of calories from saturated fat) were log-transformed to reduce skewness.

b

Percentage of total calories from added sugar = [ (added sugar (g) × 4)/total calories ] x 100.39

c

Percentage of total calories from solid fats and added sugars = {[(saturated fat [g] × 9) + (transfat [g] × 9) + (added sugar [g] × 4)]/total calories} x 100.39

d

Percent of total calories from saturated fat = [(saturated fat [g] × 9)/total calories] x 100.39
