Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether food timing impacts metabolic health in healthy participants. Participants will: - complete 2 inpatient stays - be provided with test meals - have frequent blood draws

Description:

The investigators aim to investigate the influence of different food timing, without changing 24-h caloric and nutrient intake, on glucose and fat tolerance and energy expenditure in healthy people on a simulated day or night shift.
