Stepwise linear regressions for eating behaviour traits regressed on to changes for HED sweet snacks, HED savoury snacks and HED savoury meals (n = 499).

Note.
Gender (male, female), country (UK, non-UK) and habitual dietary intake (stepwise method) were entered as covariates in step 1, followed by all eating behaviour traits in step 2 (stepwise method).
For HED sweet snacks: R2 = 0.01, p = .02 for Step 1; R2 = 0.11, p < .001 for Step 2; R2 = 0.12, p < .001 for Step 3. For HED savoury snacks: R2 = 0.06, p < .001. For HED savoury meal foods, R2 = 0.07, p < .001 for Step 1; R2 = 0.08, p < .001 for Step 2.
