The Thermic Effect of Feeding
In a lab rest measuring fully rested metabolic rate after an overnight fast each day and they were able to map for the first time the circadian variation in resting metabolic rate. This circadian variation tracked energy or body core temperature such that your underlying resting metabolic rate was lowest when core body temperature was lowest on average this was about 5 a.m. It increased over the course of the day and it peaked around 5 p.m. so there is no diurnal variation really in energy in the thermic effect of feeding according to leoni's study.
