Notes: FAFH, food-away-from-home. *** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1. Standard errors account for complex sampling design. NHANES dietary intake day 2 weights (wtdr2d) were used to compute nationally representative estimates. Coefficients and standard errors are estimated from first difference regressions (fixed effect model)
