Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Time-restricted eating is a novel dietary strategy aimed to improve metabolic health and reduce body weight through the alignment of meal timing and/or the involuntary reduction of dietary intake. Decades of dietetic research have substantiated the claims for various macronutrient compositions to be beneficial across disease states, but the focus of dietary timing is a newer concept which is fast gaining traction in the scientific literature. There is still a need for further research to expand on the impact of TRE on body weight and metabolic health. The purpose of this Special Issue is, therefore, to collect contributions regarding the effects that meal timing, through time-restricted eating or the like, has on regulation of body weight and measures of metabolic health. This special issue invites the submission of original research articles, short communications, and systematic reviews.
