Summary

This study will compare meal timing habits between 400 participants, including new mothers and people with fatty liver disease, along with healthy controls. Participants will complete diet diaries and questionnaires, with some undergoing additional tests like blood sugar monitoring and body scans. The goal is to understand how eating patterns differ in these groups and how they relate to metabolic health.
