Official title
Eating Frequency and Its Influence on Satiety and Biomarkers of Health & Disease
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Eating frequency may play an independent role in appetite regulation, overall caloric consumption and measures of long-term health or disease risk. Some literature recommends frequent eating, but pilot data suggest that this type of eating pattern may be harmful to health since it leaves the body in a perpetual fed state and increases systemic inflammation. Therefore, the investigators will conduct a clinical trial in 50 healthy adults to compare a low frequency eating pattern to a high frequency eating pattern in relation to blood-based markers of inflammation, metabolic health and appetite. Study results will be applied to recommendations for eating frequency in the context of an overall healthy diet.
