2.3. Dietary Intake Analysis
To assess dietary nutrient and food group composition and compliance to egg treatments, participants completed 5-day food and beverage intake records at the end of the first egg-free diet period (week 4), and at the end of the egg white and whole egg diet periods (week 8 and week 16). The 5-day diet recording period consisted of 3 weekdays and 2 weekend days. Average daily nutrient composition and intake analysis was determined utilizing the Nutrition Data System for Research (NDSR, Nutrition Coordinating Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Compliance to the egg diet treatments was additionally monitored by completion of a daily egg intake questionnaire.
