L2 Spinach, broccoli 74 0.3
L3 Baguette, eggs, strawberries, yogurt 467 377 (189) 1.1
L4 V: Granola bars, pizza, bananas 562 3.4
L5 Baguette, red wine, spinach 457 1.3
O1 Broccoli, carrots, eggs, banana, spinach 227 1.0 1.4 (0.5)
O2 Nuts, apples, strawberries 364 2.1
O3 Eggs, lentils, strawberries 238 353 (153) 1.1
O4 Eggs, salmon (fish), pizza 606 1.8
O5 Eggs, baguette, spinach 331 1.2

Only interview participants (n = 10) completed this exercise. The energy density (kcal/g) and caloric content were calculated based on a typical serving size of each food (source: https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/). The total caloric density per individual was calculated by averaging caloric densities of the selected foods. The caloric content was calculated by adding the calories per serving for the selected foods. Averages and standard deviations (SD) were calculated by group.
