As shown in Table 3, the intake of male and female
subjects before Ramadan differed in total energy intake
(P = 0.036) and protein (P = 0.036) intake, although
there were no differences between sexes in the proportion
of energy from the different macronutrients. There were
also no differences between males and females in dietary
intake during Ramadan or in percentage changes with
respect to the intake of energy, macronutrients and fibre.
