    More evidence from @BrighamResearch suggesting caloric intake relative to circadian clock (panels a,c) is more relevant than local clock time (panels b,d) for adiposity. ⏰ Authors conclude food timing interventions should consider ppl’s circadian timing. https://t.co/9Wy05P7VLR https://t.co/50FJIF5mHJ

Abstract Synopsis

  • The timing of calorie and macronutrient intake follows a circadian pattern, with the highest calorie consumption around 3 PM to 7 PM, and nonlean young adults tend to eat more calories and carbohydrates in the evening compared to lean individuals.
  • The study found differences in eating patterns when meals are aligned with the body's internal biological clock (circadian phase), rather than just clock time, highlighting the importance of circadian rhythms in eating behavior and weight.
  • These findings suggest that future weight management strategies could benefit from focusing on the timing of food intake relative to circadian phases, rather than solely on calorie counting or clock time.]
