Notes: Reported data is from the 1-day food recall and 3-day diet record. Data expressed as median (IQR). Macronutrient information was available for all foods but a further breakdown of nutrients was not available for some LCHF foods. Therefore, the nutrient breakdown for each macronutrient is incomplete and represents a minimum intake.

Abbreviations: MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
