We hypothesized that although energy needs might be met by the majority of Emirati children and adolescents, their diet quality and intakes of certain micronutrients may not meet recommendations.

Forage quality and food intake peak at intermediate levels of grass biomass [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], and migratory ungulates are effective at finding high-quality forage patches across heterogeneous landscapes in a range of ecosystems [5], [10], [11], including the Serengeti [9], [12], [13], [14].
Food-insecure participants reported lower overall dietary quality and lower intake of fruit and vegetables.
