MOD Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Macro-Optimized Diet (MOD)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
After the controlled feeding study, participants in this group will follow the MOD diet for the remainder of pregnancy with the assistance of a study dietitian. The MOD diet will differ from control by macronutrient distribution at breakfast specifically, but also at each eating occasion, although the daily macronutrient distribution is equal to the control diet. At breakfast, the MOD diet will provide 10% Carb/30% Pro/60% Fat.
Group II: Standard Care DietActive Control1 Intervention
After the controlled feeding study, participants in this group will follow the standard care diet for the remainder of pregnancy with the assistance of a study dietitian. The standard care study diet will provide the standard 40% Carb/20% Pro/40% Fat as energy, distributed consistently across 3 meals and 2 snacks.
