There is a lot of research supporting how much the when of intermittent fasting matters even when the what and how much are held constant. How the food is distributed over time matters for insulin which affects weight gain / loss. There is widespread misunderstanding that obesity is caused by caloric imbalance while it is actually caused by hormonal imbalance. Dr. Jason Fung has written extensively (research, blog posts, books) covering how IF impacts insulin and insulin sensitivity, and how that downstream leads to obesity [and how IF helps reverse obesity]. I highly recommend his books such as The Obesity Code. https://www.dietdoctor.com/my-single-best-weight-loss-tip https://www.dietdoctor.com/my-single-best-weight-loss-tip
