Summary
This study looks at whether eating all meals within an 8-hour window (12 pm to 8 pm) can improve body composition, muscle strength, and metabolic health in adults over 60. Some participants will also take a plant-based protein supplement in the morning or afternoon. The goal is to see if these simple changes can help older adults maintain muscle and health as they age.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple dietary strategy to help older adults maintain muscle and metabolic health without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is short (8 weeks), and long-term effects are unknown.
