Summary

This trial looks at whether grazing or eating 3 meals a day affects how much people eat overall and how that compares to how much energy they expend.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 18-35 with a healthy body weight (BMI of 18.5-24.9), who have not been overweight, eat without restrictions according to the TFEQ, and exercise moderately for at least 150 minutes weekly.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing two eating patterns: 'meal' where participants eat three times a day, and 'grazing' where they eat every few hours. The focus is on how these patterns affect evening meal intake, daily calorie consumption, and energy balance.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves common eating patterns rather than medication or medical procedures, side effects are not expected in the traditional sense but could include changes in hunger levels or weight.
