All values are means; ranges in parentheses. P values were calculated by using unadjusted logistic regression to test for differences between individuals who received their Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program benefits ≤15 compared with >15 d before the dietary recall. HEI, Healthy Eating Index; TSSD, time since Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program distribution.
Minimum required daily energy intake needed to sustain energy expenditure compatible with normal life and weight maintenance was calculated by using equations of Schofield (17) for the basal metabolic rate and multiplied by a physical activity level value of 1.48 as recommended by Goldberg et al (18) for data with ≥200 participants and only one 24-h recall.
