Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will complete two 24-h diet recalls (retrospective recall of diet; each taking approximately 30 min to complete) to provide an estimate of usual dietary intake (the first of these recalls will be performed on a school day, the second will be performed on a Saturday or Sunday, no more than 2 weeks after the first recall). They will also complete two previous day activity recalls (retrospective recall of activity, including sleep, physical activity, sedentary time and screen use; each taking approximately 30 min to complete). Participants will also provide a blood sample for analysis of lipid and HbA1c concentrations, a urine sample for analysis of iodine concentrations (5 min)wear an accelerometer for 7 days to provide an estimate of 24 h activity (sleep, sedentary behavior and physical activity) and answer questions about their attitudes and beliefs about the foods they choose to eat (or not eat) All these components will be measured over a two week time period. Data collection will occur in two distinct time periods so participants will either undergo data collection procedures between February and April 2020 or August and October 2020

Statistical methods / analysis
Sample size and statistical power
To estimate mean nutrient intakes with a 95% precision interval, 100 participants will be required to give a precision level of +/-0.2 SD (standard deviations). To allow for drop-outs, incomplete data and a small design effect from school clusters, we aim to recruit at least 150 boys. In a similar study of adolescent girls (SuNDiAL Project 2019) the intra-class correlation for nutrient intakes within schools was small (less than 0.04), meaning that the design effect from school clusters is likely to be less than 1.5 (if at least 10 boys from each school participate).

Statistical methods
Statistical analyses will be carried out using Stata (StataCorp. 2017.Stata Statistical Software: Release 16 College Station, TX: StataCorp LLC). School clusters will be accounted for in all analyses using appropriate methodology (for example, with the survey command, a sandwich estimator, or as a random effect). Dietary intake estimates will be adjusted for ‘usual intake’ using the Multiple Source Method (MSM) [7]. Estimates of prevalence and means will be reported with 95% confidence intervals.
