3.2. Nutritional Compliance
Participants successfully followed the dietary guidelines of the study and met all the requirements for nutritional intake. On average, the participants consumed 27 kcal/kg/d of energy, 3.2 g/kg/d of carbohydrate, 1.4 g/kg/d of protein, and 1.0 g/kg/d of fat throughout the study, and there was no difference in nutrient intake between choline groups, except for cholesterol consumption (The mean choline consumption was 6.2 ± 1.2 mg/kg lean/d for the low group (~51% of AI), 8.1 ± 1.6 mg/kg lean/d for the med group (~68% of AI), and 14.2 ± 3.0 mg/kg lean/d for the high group (~118% of AI). The choline intake from participants’ own diets was 5.9 ± 2.2 mg/kg lean/d (low = 5.5 ± 1.2 mg/kg lean/d, med = 5.3 ± 1.6 mg/kg lean/d, and high = 6.7 ± 3.0 mg/kg lean/d,
