3.6. Weekend food Intake among Participants in the Prototype and Control Group Compared with Weekday Intake
During the weekend, the intake of all food groups showed no significant difference between the PG and the CG participants. The intake was insufficient for all food groups except for meat and its substitutes and refined foods and potatoes (A comparison of weekdays and weekends revealed that the PG participants consumed significantly higher and thus more adequate amounts of vegetables, whole grains, and nuts during the week, mainly due to the kindergarten meals. There were no significant differences between the intakes of the other food groups.While the CG participants exhibited a relatively low total intake of whole grain products during the week, it was still significantly higher than that observed during the weekend (43% vs. 11% of RDFI), again with the kindergarten meals accounting for the difference. The average intakes of all other food groups did not differ significantly.
