8. Meal Timing (Research Study)

Research study on Morning loaded and evening loaded diets

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9605877/

This study investigated the effects of meal timing on weight loss and energy expenditure (EE) in a controlled 4-week randomized crossover trial. Participants followed two different calorie intake patterns: morning-loaded (ML) and evening-loaded (EL) diets. There were 30 total participants. The ML group consumed 45% of their daily calories at breakfast, 35% at lunch, and 20% at dinner, while the EL group consumed 20% at breakfast, 35% at lunch, and 45% at dinner. While the weight loss was even amongst the two groups, the ML group reported less perceived hunger during the trial.
