The relevance of restrained eating behavior for circadian eating patterns in adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Restrained Eating, i.e. the tendency to restrict dietary intake to control body-weight, often emerges during adolescence and may result in changes in circadian eating patterns.

Objective

Methods
