Total fat, g | 82.0 (36.9) | 86.6 (46.1) | .539 |
Saturated fat, g | 29.8 (13.5) | 31.0 (16.7) | .714 |
Percentage of total calories from solid fats and added sugarsc | 26.7 (6.1) | 26.4 (6.1) | .74 |
Percentage of total calories from saturated fatd | 12.2 (1.9) | 11.8 (1.9) | .062 |
Note. MI= minimal intervention. The sample size was n = 275. Mean gestation was 18.6 weeks.
P value of Student’s t-test; all nutrient intakes (except for percentage of calories from saturated fat) were log-transformed to reduce skewness.
Percentage of total calories from added sugar = [ (added sugar (g) × 4)/total calories ] x 100.39
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
Percent of total calories from saturated fat = [(saturated fat [g] × 9)/total calories] x 100.39
