1 n = 683. Values are means ± SEs or n (%) unless otherwise indicated. Df for all ANOVA numerators were 3 and for denominators ranged between 643 and 668, depending on missing data. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. CE, cup-equivalent; FI, food-insecure; FS, food-secure; FV, fruits and vegetables; HC, hip circumference; MP, meal plan; SSB, sugar-sweetened beverage; WC, waist circumference.
