“…Changes in food choices were consistent with results from other studies in which higher diet quality scores reflected lower consumption of meat [5,65,66], alcohol [33,67] and discretionary food items [29,31]. The observed increased consumption of fruit (found with APDQS and DQT), non-starchy vegetables (found with DQT), tomato and other vegetables (found with APDQS) was also congruent with other studies associating higher intakes of vegetables and fruits associated with high diet quality [65,66].…”

“…In the trial context, we found decreased intakes of grain foods as have others [5], but not all [33,[66][67][68]. In these latter studies, reporting high intakes of grain based foods from wholegrain sources was representative of higher diet quality.…”

“…Lower energy intakes in HealthTrack may have resulted from adherence to reduced energy diet plans provided to all participants, similar to other behavioural weight loss intervention programs with the inclusion [87] or exclusion of nuts [5,6]. Improvements in the diet quality of control groups participating in behavioural interventions is not an unusual occurrence [91,92], a phenomenon which could result from increased awareness by participating in a trial [92].…”

“…When energy intake is reduced, however, the quality of foods included in the diet is important. Lowering overall energy intake must not compromise the nutritional adequacy of diets [5][6][7]. To avoid this from occurring, concerted efforts should be placed on choosing nutrient dense foods [7].…”

“…However, in the absence of clinically significant weight loss, the implications of these studies for simultaneously addressing diet quality and weight control are lacking. In a large observational study of the general U.S. adult population, weight gain was strongly associated with consumption of lower quality foods and weight loss was associated with consumption of higher quality foods (25), and in two intervention studies in the general population of obese adults, diet quality as measured at post-intervention only was associated with amount of weight loss (23, 26). To our knowledge, no studies in the literature have examined whether change in diet quality pre to post intervention is associated with change in weight during an intervention.…”

Purpose Obesity and diet quality are two distinct lifestyle factors associated with morbidity and mortality among breast cancer survivors. The purpose of this study was to examine diet quality changes during a weight loss intervention among breast cancer survivors, and whether diet quality change was an important factor related to weight loss. Methods Participants were overweight/obese breast cancer survivors (n=180) participating in a weight loss intervention. Diet quality scores were calculated using the Healthy Eating Index-2010. Paired sample t-tests were run to examine change in diet quality, and a latent difference model was constructed to examine whether change in diet quality was associated with weight change. Results Participants significantly improved diet quality (p=.001) and lost 13.2%± 5.8% (mean± SD) of their weight (p=.001). Six month HEI score was significantly associated with weight loss, controlling for baseline BMI (p=.003). Improvement in diet quality was also significantly associated with weight loss (p=.01). Conclusion Our findings indicate that a weight loss intervention can result in both clinically significant weight loss and improvement in diet quality, and that improved diet quality is predictive of weight loss. Both weight loss and diet quality are implicated in longevity and quality of life for breast cancer survivors.

Individuals with overweight or obesity often have poor-quality diets that lack fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes and contain excessive amounts of added sugar and saturated, compared with unsaturated, fatty acids (1), which can lead to higher risk of greater weight gain and chronic disease (2,3). Weight loss (WL) of 5% to 10% may prevent chronic disease (4); however, WL diets that restrict energy also reduce healthy food and micronutrient intake (5).The effect of higher protein intake during WL on health outcomes has been reported extensively, and there is evidence that it can promote a healthy body weight, attenuate loss of muscle mass (6,7), and reduce chronic disease (8-10). In addition, it was shown that dietary protein contributes to nutrient adequacy in the general population (11). However, the impact of self-selected dietary protein on diet quality has not been examined, to our knowledge, in a longitudinal study (11), such as during caloric restriction (CR). The link between protein intake and diet quality is important because diet quality is suboptimal in the US, and higher-protein WL diets are popular. In addition, the nutrient adequacy in populations consuming lower
