  1. Results expressed as mean (standard deviation). The crude values refer to the absolute intakes of the study patients, and the adjusted values refer to the results after adjusting for intrapersonal variability [25] and energy [26]
  2. Reference values according to the I Brazilian Guideline for Diagnosing and Treating Metabolic Syndrome, 2005
  3. Carbohydrate: 50–60 % of total energy intake
  4. Protein: 15 % of total energy intake
  5. Total fat: 25–35 % of total energy intake
  6. Fiber: 20–30 g/d
