| Mean amount, g | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food or beverage2 | Number of children who truly consumed the item | True (SE) | Reported (SE) | Difference between true and reported (SE)3 |
| Pizza | 100 | 99.0 (1.7) | 104 (10.7) | −5.0 (10.5) |
| Dip | 90 | 9.8 (1.2) | 7.7 (2.0) | 2.0 (2.2) |
| Cookie | 98 | 37.2 (1.2) | 17.3 (2.5) | 19.7 (2.6)* |
| Yogurt | 84 | 41.9 (4.2) | 51.8 (8.8) | −9.9 (8.5) |
| Water | 20 | 236 (38.5) | 280 (50.3) | −43.9 (85.3) |
| Milk | 35 | 250 (0.8) | 183 (53.6) | 67.3 (53.8) |
| Juice | 40 | 182 (7.4) | 56.7 (14.7) | 126 (14.7)* |
1Portion size analyses excluded the children who did not report any lunch items (n = 12) and the children who only reported lunch items that were not similar to those served (n = 6), resulting in a final analytic sample of 82 children.

2Carrots were excluded from these analyses because there was no standardization of the weight of carrots offered.
3Values are mean differences between true and reported intakes ± SEs, n = 82. Mean differences reported were estimated with a paired 2-tailed t test. Values with an asterisk (*) were statistically significant at P < 0.05.
