The article is paywalled. Even if (and I haven't read the article) the explanatory power of mean outcomes is equal between diet content and diet timing, it's absurd to think that the worst-case timing (as long as one isn't starving) is as bad as the worst-case content (again, as long as one isn't starving or eating objective poisons). Having an average daily American intake all in one go right before bed or spread out equally among 5 minute intervals can't be as bad as a diet mostly consisting mostly of deep fat fried chocolate bars at average American meal timings.
