Table 2.

Changes within and between group in fiber and fiber by food group. Estimate (95% CI) reported for all quantities of interest. Sample sizes for HLC and HLF at baseline: n = 304 and n = 305; at 3 months: n = 274 and n = 274; at 6 months: n = 251 and n = 240; and at 12 months: n = 224 and n = 225.
