Official title: Does Meal Timing Affect Energy Expenditure

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if meal timing affects calories burned and blood sugar levels.

Clinical Trial Description

10 overweight adult men and women will eat according to two different eating schedules: grazing and time-restricting feeding ("early eating"). While on each eating schedule, metabolism (calories burned) will be measured during a 24-hour stay in a respiratory chamber. Glucose levels—as well as key diurnal rhythms such in heart rate—will also be measured continuously. This study requires two 1-week periods of participation. ;
