This randomised crossover study's primary aim is to investigate the effect of short-term fasting (eTRE) on subjective appetite and appetite-regulatory hormones (i.e., leptin, adiponectin, total glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), total peptide YY (PYY), acylated ghrelin and Insulin). In addition, to examine if the one-day early time-restricted eating influences energy expenditure and ad libitum energy intake in the periods following the standard meal test. The researchers will compare normal eating with early Time-Restricted Eating (eTRE) in healthy men.
