¹Exclusion and consumption values are frequencies. Some foods were present in multiple items offered (e.g., tomatoes in salad and multiple sandwiches). Thus, the number of times an item was consumed and excluded may exceed the number of participants. Mass and energy consumption values are means ± SEs. The number of observations for the means for each food or beverage item is the sum of the number of times excluded for the independent and assisted participants combined. For example, the n for the calculation of the mean grams and mean energy contributed among women who excluded tomatoes is 151 + 148 = 299.
