*

Data obtained from the food consumption data of the animals fed cafeteria diet (mean male values).

¶ Crude energy refers to the total energy equivalence of all diet’s components, and digestible energy# only to the energy derivable from digestible protein, lipids and carbohydrates, excluding fibre.

Intake differences between male and female animals were not statistically significant.

CHOCholesterol content.

The absence of data represents the practical absence in the corresponding food component.
