The values represent the Mean ± Standard Deviation (SD) of morphometric, food consumption and energy. Grams (g), centimeters (cm), grams per square centimeter (g/cm2), and Body Mass Index (BMI). One-way ANOVA was performed to compare the differences between the groups; the differences were considered statistically significant with a value of p<0.05∗.
