Summary
This study looked at how eating dinner early versus late affects metabolism in 41 healthy adults aged 18-30. Researchers timed meals based on each person's internal body clock, measured by a hormone called melatonin. Participants ate either before or after their natural melatonin rise, and blood samples were taken over 25 hours to track sugar, fat, and insulin levels. The goal was to understand how meal timing impacts metabolic health.
