Median daily energy, macronutrient, and select nutrient intakes at baseline and during Egg and Non-Egg conditions in the study completers (N = 30).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Baseline | Egg | Non-Egg | P value |
| Energy, kcal/day | 2111 (1512, 2437) | 2145 (1820, 2626) | 1996 (1592, 2285) | 0.008 |
| CHO, % energy | 44.8 (39.7, 55.3) | 46.6 (38.3, 51.0) | 48.7 (45.2, 51.0) | 0.013 |
| Sugar, % energy | 14.7 (11.2, 18.2) | 16.3 (11.5, 20.1) | 17.1 (14.4, 21.2) | 0.169 |
| Protein, % energy | 18.0 (14.7, 24.2) | 18.3 (15.9, 21.4) | 17.4 (15.1, 20.6) | 0.108 |
| Total fat, % energy | 38.2 (29.8, 40.6) | 35.0 (32.4, 37.7) | 34.8 (33.7, 37.5) | 0.565 |
| SFA, % of energy | 11.9 (8.6, 13.0) | 11.8 (10.2, 12.8) | 11.2 (9.3, 11.6) | 0.388 |
| UFA, % of energy | 25.5 (20.4, 28.1) | 23.8 (20.4, 26.4) | 23.6 (22.0, 25.7) | 0.867 |
| Dietary fiber, g/day | 17.0 (12.3, 25.8) | 18.4 (15.5, 23.7) | 16.5 (14.8, 19.7) | 0.059 |
| Cholesterol, mg/day | 318 (199, 441) | 550 (501, 633)* | 190 (140, 293)* | <0.001 |
| Sodium, mg/day | 3077 (2356, 4404) | 3827 (3194, 4556)* | 3369 (2625, 3717) | 0.011 |
| Calcium, mg/day | 596 (479, 926) | 600 (493, 671) | 739 (596, 800) | 0.066 |
Values for UFA are shown instead of separately as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), because the Food Processor® Nutrition Analysis software utilizes only the information contained in the Nutrition Facts label (i.e., total fat, saturated fat, and trans fat), which, therefore, allows calculation of UFA, but calculations of MUFA and PUFA would be inaccurate.
CHO carbohydrates, IQL interquartile limits, SFA saturated fatty acids, UFA unsaturated fatty acids.
P values are for the comparison of treatment conditions in the change from baseline.
Bold values indicates statistical significant p-values.
An asterisk (*) denotes that the change from baseline was statistically significant, p < 0.05.
