Energy Expenditure Timing

Meaning

Energy Expenditure Timing refers to the specific chronobiological concept that the body’s total caloric output and the efficiency of substrate utilization are subject to a predictable 24-hour rhythm. This rhythm dictates that energy is expended more effectively and efficiently during certain times of the day, primarily aligning with the active phase of the circadian cycle. Optimizing activity and feeding times based on this rhythm can significantly impact weight management, metabolic health, and overall energy balance.
