Dietary energy density of Irish teenagers aged 13 to 17 years

The objective of the present research is to examine the dietary energy density (ED) of Irish teenagers aged 13 to 17 years. Data from the National Teens’ Food Survey (NTFS) were used for this analysis (http://www.iuna.net). Dietary intake data was analysed using WISP g (Tinuviel Software, Anglesey, UK), which contains McCance and Widdowson’s The Composition of Foods, 6th edition. Dietary ED (kcal/g) was calculated using food only excluding all beverages (1.97 kcal/g). Participants were separated by tertiles of dietary ED (kcal/g) into low (<1.83), medium (1.83–2.11) and high (>2.11). Mean daily intakes (MDI) of energy, macronutrients as percent total energy (%TE), dietary fibre (DF) (g/10 MJ) and food group intakes as %TE, are reported across groups of dietary ED.
