Diet parameters for food intake are expressed in raw value (gram/day) and in % of total energy intake. Body parameters are expressed in raw value (kilogram or liter) and in % of body mass. Comparison of outcomes per BMI group at allocation was tested with one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The test was two-sided, and the nominal level of significance was 5%.
