Abstract
A lower Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire score is associated with a lower intake of protein, vitamins, and minerals in 112 young Japanese women.
- Evening-type individuals tend to consume less protein, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and certain vitamins compared to morning-type individuals.
- A later midpoint of sleep correlates with reduced intake of protein, cholesterol, potassium, and several vitamins.
- Both lower dietary intakes of essential nutrients and higher consumption of noodles are observed in those with evening chronotype.
- These findings indicate that an evening chronotype may be linked to less healthy eating patterns.
