Table 2.

Correlation between daily totals of eating factors of different subjects. Strong correlations (highlighted) between calorie intake and fat/carbs/sugar are shown. As expected, BMI is moderately negatively correlated with daily activity. The number of bites is only moderately correlated with calories and other nutrients, with protein and fiber being slightly higher (as expected since meat/vegetables require more bites).
