De un artículo de Science (https://bit.ly/2Q2qZwR):
la alimentación restringida en el tiempo (TRF time restricted feeding) parece tener algunos efectos más positivos si se come más de mañana y mediodía que si se come de noche. No todos los indicadores mejoran cuando se come mañanero, pero es información a tener en cuenta.
El artículo también habla de la restricción calórica continua y del ayuno.

Outcomes from TRF trials in humans also appear to depend on the distribution of meals during the day and the duration of fasting (45–49). Limiting food intake to the middle of the day decreased body weight or body fat, fasting glucose and insulin levels, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and inflammation and produced mild caloric restriction and weight loss, without calorie counting (46, 47, 50, 51). Similarly, metabolic markers were improved in a group of people eating an isocaloric diet with a bigger breakfast and a smaller dinner (52, 53), and type 2 diabetic patients under hypocaloric diet obtained better metabolic outcome by eating most of their daily allotment in the first half of the day rather than divided into six meals throughout the day (54). On the contrary, restricting food intake to the late afternoon or evening either produced mostly null results or worsened glucose levels after eating, β cell responsiveness, blood pressure, and lipid levels (45, 48, 49). A strictly controlled feeding trial tested prediabetic subjects that were allowed to eat their meals in either a 6-hour time window in the morning (before 3 p.m.) or a 12-hour time window for 5 weeks. Early TRF ameliorated the metabolic markers of diabetes without a significant reduction of body weight (55). Individuals on a hypocaloric, three-meal-per-day diet lost more weight when the majority of the food was consumed in the morning, as opposed to the evening (51). However, no significant changes in glycemia, insulin sensitivity, or respiratory exchange ratio (RER, defined as the ratio between the amount of carbon dioxide produced and oxygen used during breathing) were observed when obese, insulin-resistant men were exposed to a hypocaloric diet with food provided in the morning (56). In the context of cancer, two studies found that a fasting period of more than 13 hours resulted in lower risk of breast cancer recurrence than that in subjects who fasted less than 13 hours (57, 58). The discrepancies remain to be explained, but collectively, given the present body of knowledge, these studies indicate that both the amount of time spent eating during each day and the time at which food is consumed relative to the circadian rhythm are critically important to the effects of diet on health and longevity.
