When you eat may change your gut bugs, study suggests

This completed study looked at how the number of meals per day and the timing of energy intake influence gut microbiome composition in both morbidly obese and non-obese adults. Researchers analyzed baseline data from 34 participants (11 non-obese, 23 morbidly obese) to compare their gut bacteria profiles. The goal was to understand whether meal patterns are linked to differences in gut health.
