Table 1

Variables extracted from the food recalls.

	Variable name	Definition	Units	Women’s mean (sd)
Consumption amounts	Energy intake	Total energy intake per day	kcals	1779 (704)
	Relative carbohydrate	Relative carbohydrate	g	2.61 (30.20)
	Relative protein	Relative protein	g	−3.26 (19.93)
	Relative fat	Relative fat	g	0.43 (18.76)
	Relative fibre	Relative fibre	g	0.23 (6.60)
Intraday pattern	First CE	Time of first CE	Hours from midnight	7.93 (2.27)
	Number of CE	Number of CEs per day	Number	5.57 (1.63)
	Mean foods per CE	Mean number of distinct foods per CE	Number	9.68 (3.28)
	Variability foods per CE	Intraday standard deviation number of distinct foods per CE	Number	5.42 (1.93)
	Variability time gap	Intraday standard deviation in time gap between CEs	Minutes	104.27 (48.79)
	Variability energy per CE	Intraday standard deviation Kcals per CE	kcals	322.2 (152.65)
Interday variability (participants with 2 days of data)	IDD energy intake	Interday difference in energy intake	kcals	627.91 (577.70)
	IDD first CE	Interday difference in time of first CE	Hours	1.65 (2.15)
	IDD number of foods	Interday difference in number of foods	Number	4.61 (3.84)
	IDD number of CEs	Interday difference in number of CEs	Number	1.48 (1.32)
	IDD mean time gap	Interday difference in mean time gap between CEs	Minutes	63.42 (70.67)

CE: consumption event. IDD: interday differences (for participants with two separate days of food recall data).
