Overview
Brief Summary
Effective nutrition strategies for combatting and/or preventing obesity still need to be identified. This has been the case despite the numerous and different approaches that have been taken. Potential targets for combatting/preventing obesity have been identified, but long-term solutions have not emerged. This study uses time restricted feeding to study the role of dietary protein in obesity prevention and/or treatment. The objectives are to determine the role of skeletal muscle mass as a driver of energy-sensing mechanisms and peripheral signals that regulate appetite and energy intake in overweight and obese adults and to determine the effects of protein timing on muscle mass to regulate appetite and energy intake in overweight and obese adults.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Body composition
Time Frame: Change is being assessed at baseline and final day (day 120) of the intervention.
Body composition measured using dual x-ray absorptiometry to determine the ration of lean/fat-free mass to fat mass.
Secondary Outcomes
- Grit(Change is being assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks)
- Amino acids and metabolites(Change is being assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks)
- Whole body protein turnover(Change is being assessed at baseline and final day (day 120) of the intervention.)
- Muscle mass(Change is being assessed at baseline and final day (day 120) of the intervention.)
- Body weight(Change is being assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks.)
- Sleep(Change is being assessed at baseline and 12 weeks)

- Self-reported physical activity(Change is being assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks)
- Mood(Change is being assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks)
- Hand grip(Change is being assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks)
- Dietary intake(Change is being assessed at baseline, 4, 8, and 12 weeks)
