2.8. Dietary Intake
Participants were asked to self-report all their dietary intake via a smartphone application (Easy Diet Diary, Xyris Software (Australia) Pty Ltd., Sydney, Australia) one week prior to each metabolic testing at baseline and week 12. Adherence to the diets was assessed by a research dietitian using the participants’ self-reported seven-day food records. The energy and macronutrient intakes were calculated by using FoodWorks Professional (version 10; Xyris Software (Australia) Pty Ltd., Australia). The leftover of the supplements at each visit was weighed to calculate the total amount consumed.
