SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: Healthy Eating Index Data Assumptions and Calculation Methods

The following assumptions and methods were used to calculate Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores, using the 2010 HEI scoring guidelines.

USDA Day 2 Menu

Data and calculation assumptions

 Rice mixed dish is white rice (refined grain).

 Because data are missing for potato chowder (canned), popcorn (bagged), and whole wheat bread (dough): whole wheat bread (dough) = assume same monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), and food group information as whole wheat bread (packaged); potato chowder (canned) = assume same food group info as potato chowder (home), http://www.campbellsoup.com/Products/Chunky/Traditional/2433;

popcorn (bagged ) = assume same food group info as popcorn (microwave).

 Assume no added sugars in orange juice (100% juice), milk, green beans, apple, and yogurt.

 Added sugars in bran flakes = total sugars − 1 g (amount of sugar in no sugar added bran flakes).

 Total sugars data for low-fat (1%) milk obtained from the Dairy Council of California: http://www.healthyeating.org/Milk-Dairy/Nutrients-in-Milk- Cheese-Yogurt/Nutrients-in-Milk.aspx?Referer=dairycouncilofca.

 Total sugars data for frozen apples (assumed unsweetened) taken from:

http://www.fns.usda.gov/fdd/schfacts/FV/FVnew2012schfactsheets/100258_AppleSlicesFrzUnsweetened_30lb_January%202012.pdf. Total sugars data taken from Campbell’s Chunky Old Fashioned Potato Ham Chowder (on which the USDA based its nutrient data):

http://www.campbellsoup.com/Products/Chunky/Traditional/2433.

 When summing for the canned/packaged category, used non-home/fresh item when only two options available. With pudding, dry mix = home/fresh and ready-to-eat goes with the frozen/mix and canned/packaged categories.

Measurement assumptions

 Apple slices (frozen) = 0.5 c fruit. Green beans: 1 c = 130 g = 4.6 oz.

USDA Day 7 Menu

 Due to missing data for French toast (frozen), dinner roll (prepared), garlic bread (home): French toast (frozen) = assume same number of servings for each food group/nutrient as French toast (home); dinner roll (prepared) = assume same number of servings for each food group/nutrient as dinner roll (home); garlic bread (home) = assume same number of servings for each food group/nutrient as garlic bread (frozen).

 Total sugars data for French toast are from: http://www.auntjemimafrozen.com/products/frenchtoast.html.

 Pinto beans protein scores vary due to HEI distribution guidelines for protein in beans and peas (0.7 Total Pro/Seafood for canned/prepared vs 0.5 for frozen and 0.3 for Total Veg and Greens and Beans for canned/prepared vs 0.5 for frozen).

Measurement assumptions

(16)

 Pinto beans, 1 c = 173 g; margarine, 1 tsp = 4.7 g; apple, 1 medium apple = 1.25 c servings; egg equivalents, 1 oz equivalent = 1 egg = 6 g protein.

Thrifty Food Plan Menu Data and calculation assumptions

 Sugar data for bagels estimated from: http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/food/bagels/carbohydrate.

 Sugar data for low-fat (1%) milk obtained from the Dairy Council of California: http://www.healthyeating.org/Milk-Dairy/Nutrients-in-Milk-Cheese- Yogurt/Nutrients-in-Milk.aspx?Referer=dairycouncilofca.

 Substitute missing food group/category data for Chicken noodle soup (dry mix) from Chicken noodle soup (canned).

 Substitute missing food group/category data for Leaf lettuce (bagged) from Leaf lettuce (fresh).

 Substitute missing food group/category data for Garlic bread (home) from Garlic bread (frozen) Measurement assumptions

 Assume 1 medium bagel = 3 oz equivalent of grains; 8 large eggs = 2 c scrambled; 5 c sauce + 12 meatballs ~ 6 c; egg equivalents, 1 oz equivalent = 1 egg = 6 g protein.

JADA Menus (Baseline Through Target Menus)

The following assumptions and methods were used to calculate HEI scores, using the 2005 HEI scoring guidelines.

 Added sugar from ice cream was calculated by subtracting the amount of sugar (grams) in the milk equivalent for that serving from the total amount of sugars.

Added sugars from the vanilla yogurt were calculated by finding the amount of total sugar in plain yogurt (USDA Nutrient Database;

http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/107?fg=&man=&lfacet=&format=&count=&max=25&offset=&sort=&qlookup=yogurt%2C+plain ) and subtracting the amount of total sugars in the vanilla yogurt. The difference was considered added sugar. For the cereal product, total sugar was halved in order to estimate added sugar.

 Italian dressing added sugar was taken from the Food Value Analysis database. The total sugar listed was considered to be all added.

 All sugar in the hot fudge topping was considered to be added sugar. Saturated fat was used to calculate the solid fat for this product.

 Italian dressing “oils,” which did not have information in the Food Value Analysis database, were calculated by taking the total fat and subtracting the amount of saturated fat. The same method was used for the mayonnaise and sunflower seeds.

 Solid fat calculations: if there were data available on “discretionary fats, solids,” then these data was used; if not, saturated fat values were used instead.

If data for a food product (food group/category) were not available in the Food Value Analysis database, it was replaced with a similar product so that there were no incomplete HEI scores.

 Substitute instant iced tea for “frozen” iced tea option.

 Substitute packaged cookies info for “frozen” chocolate chip cookies

 Substitute packaged Italian dressing for “frozen” Italian dressing.

(17)

 Only carrots were included in dark green/orange vegetable category.

Measurement assumptions

 Granola snack and cereal were each counted as 1 oz of grains; the pita and croissant were counted as 2 oz of grains each.
