Study linking meal timing and habits to weight loss
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how timing of daily behaviors (like eating) relates to how much weight people lose during a behavioral weight loss program. You may be asked to track your activity with wearable devices and to do body-metabolism testing using urine samples and special water.
