First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how different diets affect your body's daily rhythms, like when you feel hungry and how you burn energy. Healthy adults aged 18-45 will eat provided meals and track their food intake. They will also have two short hospital stays for blood, urine, saliva, and stool tests. The goal is to understand how meal timing and composition influence weight management.
