1CSB+ and CSB++ were produced by Michiels Fabrieken NV, (Michiels Fabrieken NV, Zulte, Belgium) according to World Food Programme (WFP) guidelines. CSB+/wp consisted of CSB + added whey permeate powder (8% (w/w)). The REF diet was produced by Tjørnehøj Mølle A/S (Tjørnehøj Mølle A/S, Hedehusene, Denmark).

3Monocalcium phosphate (monohydrate), potassium chloride and calcium carbonate provided nutrients (units/kg diet) when added as specified, as follows: potassium, 4 g; calcium, 5 g; and phosphorus, 2 g.

4Variolac®850 (Arla Foods Ingredients, Viby, Denmark) (composition: 85% lactose, 3% protein, 0.6% Na, 0.1% Mg, 0.6% P, 1.0% Cl, 1.6% K, 0.6% Ca).

5Energy, protein, fat and fiber analyzed by SGS (SGS, Antwerp, Belgium). Phosphorus, calcium and phytic acid contents were analyzed at the University of Copenhagen.

6Nutrient density for phosphorus excludes phosphorus bound in phytic acid.
