Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR) was used to calculate approximate recommended energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat and fibre intakes during each phase of the SOS diet. The data for NDSR calculations were derived from phase‐specific food lists, recommended portion sizes and sample menus published in the SOS book 25. Group‐specific diet analyses (B vs. NB) were not completed as part of the study, but recommendations for total energy, carbohydrate, protein, fat and fibre intakes were the same for B and NB.
