  We have plenty of studies about this from body building. What you eat is orders of magnitude more important than when you eat. So while you can measure effects of timing and they are real, they are insignificant to most but the top competition level where 1% can make a difference.

    Those studies give a good idea of the effects on body builders. You can't just automagically extend that to the general population.

      Also the part that most people forget is that studying bodybuilders is most often also studying people who are on performance enhancing drugs ("steroids").

      Researchers are aware of this, the studies are on regular people - a lot of them on people who never exercised before - just in a body building scenario. I wasn't very clear in my first post.

        Which studies specifically?

  Time restricted feeding is a form of natural calorie restriction and it's the caloric restriction that causes the change in the body. When equated for calories, protein, and fiber (and their "Calories Out" side effects) there is no statistically significant difference in diets from the twinkie diet[1], keto, low carb, low fat (though not too too low cause of hormones), one meal a day, 12/12 or 16/8 or 5d/2d intermittent fasting...
