Values were calculated using Nutrition System of Traditional Chinese Medicine Combining with Western Medicine, version 11.0 (Medical College, Qingdao University, Shandong, China). The nutrition system includes food composition data, permitting calculation of nutrient intake from the menus. Values in the parentheses are the results of chemical analyses of the menus prepared during the intervention period.
