(1) Background: Eating is fundamental to survival. Animals choose when to eat depending
on food availability. The timing of eating can synchronize different organs and tissues that …

Recent studies link energy regulation to the circadian clock at the behavioral, physiological
and molecular levels, emphasizing that the timing of food intake itself may have a significant …

Feeding, which is essential for all animals, is regulated by homeostatic mechanisms. In
addition, food consumption is temporally coordinated by the brain over the circadian (~ 24 h) …

A delayed eating schedule is associated with increased risk of obesity and metabolic
dysfunction in humans. 1–9 However, there are no prolonged, highly controlled …

Growing evidence points to an association between timing of food intake and obesity in
humans, raising the question if when to eat matters as much as what and how much to eat …

Meal timing may be a critical modulator of health outcomes due to complex interactions
between circadian biology, nutrition and human metabolism. As such, approaches that aim …

The importance of metabolic health is a major societal concern due to the increasing
prevalence of metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and various cardiovascular …

Objective Diet‐induced thermogenesis (DIT) is lower in the evening and at night than in the
morning. This may help explain why meal timing affects body weight regulation and why shift …

Overweight and obesity are the result of a chronic positive energy balance, and therefore the
only effective therapies are a diet which, on the long term, provides lower calories than the …

Over the past decade, a large body of literature has demonstrated that disruptions of the
endogenous circadian clock, whether environmental or genetic, lead to metabolic …
