Chronotype differences in timing of energy and macronutrient intakes: A population‐based study in adults

Evening types consumed higher intakes of energy, sucrose, fat, and saturated fatty acids in the evening compared to morning types.

• Morning types generally had higher energy and macronutrient intakes in the morning, except for sucrose where evening types had a higher intake.
• On weekends, the differences in evening energy, sucrose, and fat intakes between chronotypes were more pronounced.
• Evening types had more eating occasions and exhibited more irregular meal times compared to morning types.
• The delayed timing of energy and macronutrient intake among evening types may be associated with unfavorable dietary patterns.
