Irregular meal-pattern effects on energy expenditure, metabolism, and appetite regulation: a randomized controlled trial in healthy normal-weight women. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 104(1), 21-32. https://doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.115.125401

Background: Obesity is increasing in parallel with greater all-day food availability. The latter may promote meal irregularity, dysregulation of the energy balance, and poor metabolic health.
Objective: We investigated the effect of meal irregularit... Read More about Irregular meal-pattern effects on energy expenditure, metabolism, and appetite regulation: a randomized controlled trial in healthy normal-weight women.
