Abbreviations: SE—standard error. * Energy intake adjusted for sex, age group, their interaction, and number of eating occasions at breakfast; all other nutrients adjusted for sex, age group, their interaction, BMI group, and energy intake at total day, breakfast, or the rest of the day. 1 Breakfast cereal consumers had any food from the sub-major food groups “breakfast cereals, ready to eat” or “breakfast cereals, hot porridge style”, either at any time of day with a “breakfast” eating occasion, or between 5.30 a.m. and 9.30 a.m. with an “extended consumption” eating occasion. 2 Non-cereal consumers reported “breakfast” eating occasions but were not breakfast cereal consumers. 3 Breakfast skippers did not report a “breakfast” eating occasion. a,b,c Different superscripts denotes significant difference between groups (p < 0.001) by post hoc, Bonferroni.
