Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess a circadian variation of diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) that could favor weight gain among night workers used to eating a night time snack. Nine young men were given the same mean at 0900, 1700, or 0100. Energy expenditure was measured by indirect calorimetry 1 h before and during the 6 h after the snack. DIT was calculated as the 3 h of energy expenditure above basal metabolic rate. Morning DIT was significantly higher than afternoon DIT (P = 0.04) and night DIT (P = 0.002). Afternoon DIT was higher than night DIT (P = 0.06). We conclude that the time when a meal is consumed affects the thermogenic response and must be considered in the energy balance.

  • An earlier study showed larger diet-induced thermogenesis assessed over 6 h in the morning (0900 h) compared with the afternoon (1700 h) and at night (0100 h).

    “This result is consistent with an earlier study that showed larger diet-induced thermogenesis assessed over 6 h in the morning (0900 h) compared with the afternoon (1700 h) and at night (0100 h) (91), although another study did not find a difference between morning and afternoon (92).”

  • In healthy normal weight men, the postprandial metabolic response to identical meals changes throughout the day.

    “Moreover, in healthy normal weight men, it has been demonstrated that the postprandial metabolic response to identical meals changes throughout the day [4,5].”

  • When identical meals (~544 kcals; 15% protein, 35% fat, 50% carbohydrate) are consumed in the morning, afternoon, or night, the thermic response is lowest with nighttime intake.

    “For instance, when identical meals (~544 kcals; 15% protein, 35% fat, 50% carbohydrate) are consumed either in the morning, afternoon, or night, the thermic response to that meal appears to be the lowest with nighttime intake [4].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
