And they don't tell us when to eat either.
It's just another article about "there is a correlation in mice" and continue with a bunch of truisms for good measure.

- theandrewbailey 4y agoThere is a general sense of earlier is better: > Research is starting to show the same effects in humans. One study on weight loss that compared the times of eating among participants over a 20-week period revealed that those who ate lunch earlier lost more weight than those who ate it later. A related study found that those who ate later burned less energy than those who ate earlier.
- Izkata 4y ago> A related study found that those who ate later burned less energy than those who ate earlier. Big question on this one: Was it testing the same people, or was it observational / correlation-seeking? Because I can imagine people who burn less energy in general eat later because they're not hungry, rather than the other way around.
- teaearlgraycold 4y agoDid that study have full control over the participant’s diets? If they’re allowed to self report a lunch time or eat freely then it could easily be down to differing snacking habits based on when they last ate.
- amalgamated_inc 4y agoIf the study doesn't take chronotype into consideration, what does "early" even mean? Humans have a natural variation in our circadian rhythms, and 90% or so lie within a 4h window. So you might eat before I wake up, or my breakfast might be your lunch.
