Study 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?

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.
