The Lack of Benefit in Time-Restricted Feeding for Caloric Restriction
Clinical trials show no difference in benefits between caloric restriction and time-restricted feeding. Those who calorie restrict have an easier time maintaining muscle mass due to a higher protein intake. Too much or too little protein can be converted into glucose by the liver. The optimal protein intake is around 25 to 50 grams per serving. Time restricted feeding individuals struggle to meet this requirement due to limited eating window. The feeding window typically stops after three or four hours.
