Mean food group intake for Australian young adults (aged 18–34 years) reporting low dietary energy-density (≤5.23 kJ/g) compared to those reporting higher dietary energy-density (>5.23 kJ/g). One serve = 75 g of vegetables; 125 mL of juice, 150 g of fresh or 30 g dried fruit; 500 kJ of grains and cereals; 500–600 kJ of meat, poultry, and alternatives; 500–600 kJ of milk, yoghurt, cheese, and alternatives; 7 g of polyunsaturated oil or 10 g of polyunsaturated spread/nuts/nut spread and 600 kJ of discretionary foods. *** p < 0.001. Means are adjusted for low-energy reporters (energy intake: basal metabolic rate ratio of <0.87). Survey-specific weighting factors were applied.
