摘要: A growing body of evidence highlights the importance biological clock as a modulator energy balance and metabolism. Recent studies in humans have shown that ingested calories are apparently utilised more efficiently morning than evening this is manifest through improved weight loss, even under iso-energetic calorie intake. The mechanisms behind enhanced metabolism not yet clear, although it may result from behavioural adaptations or circadian driven variations physiology major objective newly funded Big Breakfast Study, therefore, to investigate mechanistic basis amplified thermogenesis leading by exploring physiological expenditure alongside underlying biology. This report briefly discusses current research linking meal timing, rhythms metabolism; gaps; provides an overview being undertaken part Medical Research Council Study.
