Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Maternal weight and fat accretion changes	Assess weight and fat accretion change between groups using the Selinger four-compartment model	Baseline through 2-mounths postpartum
Primary	Identify changes in fiber intake and dietary quality	Compare fiber intake and dietary quality between groups by using 24-hour dietary recalls	Baseline through 2-months postpartum
Secondary	Infant fat accrual	Identify differences in early infant fat accrual between group by completing body composition measurements including but not limited to Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and PeaPod	Birth to 12-month old
Secondary	Maternal weight and fat accretion	Assess weight and fat accretion change between groups using the Selinger four-compartment model	2-months through 12-months postpartum
Secondary	Dietary fiber intake and dietary quality	Assess differences using the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI)	2-months through 12-months postpartum
