Effects of 8‐h time‐restricted eating on energy intake, dietary composition and quality in adolescents with obesity
Authors' conclusion
There were no significant differences between the TRE and control groups in energy intake, dietary composition or quality. Future research with larger sample sizes is needed to further evaluate the potential impact of TRE on dietary behaviours.
