Chrono-Nutrition in Practice:

What factors may affect adherence to time-restricted eating?

Dr Wendy Hall RNutr

Tuesday 11 October 20:00–21:00 BST

Season 3

CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Chrono-nutrition is an emerging field of nutritional science that is gaining traction. It aims to understand how the timing of energy intake across the day may impact health.

Observational studies have found that, independent of energy intake and physical activity, the timing of food intake may be able to influence weight gain and cardiometabolic health. There are also some larger RCTs investigating the mechanisms behind this in the pipeline, but how much do we know now?

Although this area of research is still an emerging field, many people are attempting to follow varying time-restricted eating patterns in the pursuit of health.

This Journal Club session discusses the results of a survey conducted within a university community to find out what motivates people to undertake time-restricted eating and what factors are likely to influence adherence. The session will also give an overview of the research and consider the implications for future research and clinical practice.

Watch this webinar to

Gain clear understanding of:
  • The concept of time-restricted eating
  • Challenges in adherence to time-restricting eating
  • The links between eating behaviour and sleep timings
Be aware of:
  • Limitations of interpreting data from a self-selecting population
  • Limitations of questionnaires in gaining depth of insight into motivations and barriers
