Summary

This study looks at how the timing of dinner influences what and how much you eat, your physical activity, and your metabolic health. Researchers will compare early versus late dinners in 20 healthy adults who are not regular exercisers. The goal is to understand if simply shifting dinner time can improve health markers like blood sugar and sleep.
