- aIncludes French fries, waffle fries, curly fries, and tater tots.
- bIncludes dipping sauce, gravy, or dressing when indicated in nutrition facts (n = 6).
- Note: Substitutions were calculated within restaurants and then averaged across the total sample of restaurants for that FV side dish item. QSR and FSR are included. The analysis excludes baked cinnamon apple slices which, at 270 calories, were an outlier. When included, the overall mean calories for apples increase to 97 ± 88, and mean calories saved via substitution decrease to 136 ± 113, and the range expands to -70-290. The analysis includes one restaurant in which French fries and apples are served together by default, illustrating the energy reduction that could be achieved if only apples were offered. If this restaurant were excluded, the overall mean calories for apples increase to 79 ± 45, mean calories saved via substitution increase to 188 ± 68, and the range narrows to 110–290.
