Late eating is associated with cardiometabolic risk traits, obesogenic behaviors, and impaired weight loss.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a paucity of evidence regarding the role of food timing on cardiometabolic health and weight loss in adults.

Objectives

To determine whether late eating is cross-sectionally associated with obesity and cardiometabolic risk factors at baseline; and whether late eating is associated with weight loss rate and success following a weight loss intervention protocol. Also, to identify obesogenic behaviors and weight loss barriers associated with late eating.

Methods

Participants were recruited from a weight-loss program in Spain. Upon recruitment, the midpoint of meal intake was determined by calculating the midway point between breakfast and dinner times, and dietary composition was determined from diet recall. Population median for the midpoint of meal
