Chrononutrition – when to eat

This activity consists of a 45-minute self-guided module and a journal article on chrononutrition.

Chrononutrition is a developing field of research that investigates the relationship between the body’s circadian rhythm, nutrition and health outcomes. It is demonstrated that the timing of eating can influence a person’s health and risk of disease.

Module outline:

• Lesson 1: What is chrononutrition
• Lesson 2: The effects of timing of food intake
• Lesson 3: Implications for dietitians and nutrition professionals
• Key points
• Quiz

The journal article is a scoping review on chronotype differences in body composition, dietary intake and eating behaviour outcomes. After reading the article, answer a set of multiple-choice questions to pass the activity and qualify for CEU. This activity is accredited for 4 CEUs.

A summary of the key points will be provided at the end of the module as well as the journal article.
