Chrononutrition and health (Frontiers editorial)
Summary
Brief overview of why meal timing intersects with circadian biology and metabolic health, including shift‑work implications.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
Evidence here whether keeping most calories in a daytime window, with minimal overnight intake, shows sleep, alertness, recovery, and metabolic markers for night‑shift workers and night owls. The signal puts timing—rather than only calories or macros—at the center of how bodies respond to working at night. For people who work nights, that frames an everyday choice (when you eat, how you light the end of a shift, how rest is split) as part of the mechanism, not just routine.
