Differences in protein intake from specific food groups followed the same pattern, with vegans having a much lower intake of proteins not only from animal sources, but also from sweets, fat condiments (e.g., mayonnaise), and plant-based substitutes for milk, and having a much higher intake of proteins from fruit (e.g., bananas) and vegetables (but with borderline significance).
Lacto-ovo vegetarians also had a higher intake of grains and vegetables compared to semi-vegetarians, but that did not reach statistical significance ( Figure 5 , Supplementary Table S5 ).
