Summary

This study looks at whether adjusting meal timing can reduce health risks for night-shift nurses and nursing assistants who are overweight. Participants will either just track their diet, follow a 10-hour daytime eating window, or add a low-sugar snack during night shifts. The goal is to see if these changes improve body fat, weight, and blood sugar over 12 months.
