When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how their blood fat levels respond after eating a high-fat meal
Scientific Claim
Five days of time-restricted feeding (12:00-20:00 eating window) does not significantly affect postprandial triglyceride levels in healthy young adult males aged 22±1.3 years with BMI 26.0±0.38 kg/m²

Assessment Explanation
This is a randomized crossover RCT with direct measurement of triglyceride levels. The study design can establish no effect for this specific outcome in this specific population.
Source Excerpt
“Postprandial TG concentrations were not significantly different between the TRF and CON trials (trial × time, p = 0.531; trial, p = 0.850; time, p < 0.001; Fig. 2A). The AUC in the TG concentration were also not significantly different between the two trials (p = 0.956, Fig. 2B).”
Evidence from Studies
Supporting Evidence (1)
The study measured triglyceride levels after a high-fat meal in 8 healthy young males. Both the time course and area under the curve for triglycerides showed no significant differences between TRF and control groups (p=0.531 and p=0.956 respectively). This is a direct measurement from the study's data.
