The NDSR: the Nutrition Data System for Research; the sHEI: the Short Healthy Eating Index; the DSQ: the Dietary Screener Questionnaire; 24 h recall: 24 h recall; g: grams; mg: milligrams. ¹ The NDSR provided an estimate of added sugars by the unit of total calories (kcal). They were converted into tsp equivalents in this table assuming every 16 kcals converts to 1 tsp. ² The NDSR only provides an estimate of sweetened beverage servings. We estimate the added sugar content in those beverages using sweetened beverage servings times 6.5.
