SD Standard deviation. Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the relationships between variables. d day, g grams, Kcal kilocalories, NA Not Applicable
^aLinear regression was used to evaluate the relationships between variables, while controlling for wIS and SRRE. wIS, weighted Isoform Size; SRRE, Self-Reported Race/Ethnicity
^*- significant P-value of ≤ 0.05
^b—Relative intake values are calculated as % calories using g/1000 cal
