Macronutrient and micronutrient intakes were not significantly different between restrained and unrestrained eaters.
Dietary restraint does not significantly alter nutrient intake in this population.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Macronutrient and micronutrient intakes were not significantly different between restrained and unrestrained eaters reporting energy intake to within 30% of predicted total energy expenditure.
Why this rating
