Daily caloric intake. There was a significant reduction in caloric intake () for both groups, with no significant difference between groups. The Bean group averaged 1387 calories/day (SD = 252) over the treatment period (compared to 1646 kcal/day at baseline; SD = 363), and the SHF group averaged 1250 calories/day (SD = 297.0) over the treatment period (compared to 1597 kcal/day at baseline; SD = 584) (Figure 2). Bean group members met dietary caloric intake goals (1400 kcal/day) M = 2.20 out of 4 weeks, and SHF group members met the goals M = 2.67 out of 4 weeks ().
