*Nutrient requirements from complementary food calculated as total requirement less provided in breastmilk. Estimated mealie meal consumption is 125 kcal, 250 kcal, and 500 kcal based on observed intakes during SHINE trial. IYCF diet includes SHINE IYCF behaviour change modules +20 g Nutributter per day. IYCF-PLUS diet includes IYCF behaviour change modules +20 g Nutributter per day+whole egg powder, moringa powder, and iron and zinc-fortified sugar bean powder.
