NCT ID NCT07500792
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether eating all meals within a 6-hour window (early time-restricted eating) changes appetite and hunger-related hormones compared to eating over 12 hours. Twelve healthy men without obesity will try both eating patterns on separate days. Researchers will measure hormone levels and how much they eat afterward to see if meal timing affects appetite.
