Timing of #chocolate intake affects hunger, substrate oxidation, and #microbiota: A randomized controlled trial

Eating chocolate in the morning or in the evening/at night, may differentially affect energy balance and impact body weight due to changes in energy intake, substrate oxidation, microbiota (composition/function), and circadian-related variables. In a randomized controlled trial, postmenopausal females (n = 19) had 100 g of chocolate in the morning (MC), in the evening/at night… Continue reading Timing of #chocolate intake affects hunger, substrate oxidation, and #microbiota: A randomized controlled trial
