I noticed this as well. It seems as if they were trying to control the meals in terms of major identifiable items with less obvious items being the variables that would make the meal HFLC/LFHC. Seems like a understandable method to me given the hypothesis. They were testing the macros while keeping the meals "looking" similar . I wonder, if it weren't snacks, pizza, bread, crips, biscuits/cookie based would it be vastly different.

My belief going into it is that changing them would have had an impact. The results of both groups I imagine are confounded by the effects of all of those easily and quickly digestible carbs.

To say nothing of the assumption undermining this change that while a calorie may not be a calorie, a gram of protein is a gram of protein and a gram of fat is a gram of fat.
