Additionally, a simulated diet with a relative ratio of energy from fats:carbohydrates of 20%:80% results in individuals snacking after 21:00 for ∼93% of days in both sexes, whereas a relative fat:carbohydrate ratio of 80%:20% results in late-night snacking ∼55% and ∼60% of days for males and females, respectively. Agents consuming at least a 40%:60% relative ratio of energy from fat:carbohydrate ratio can achieve the largest reductions in total calories consumed and late-night snacking compared with consuming higher relative proportions of carbohydrates.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Eating a diet with ≥40% of its energy from fats relative to carbohydrates can achieve the largest reductions in total calories consumed and late-night snacking each day than consuming higher proportions of carbohydrates, with even further reductions as more fat is added to the diet, when considering the physiologic responses to dietary intake alone. Future research should layer in other strong contributing factors to eating such as stress, social context, palatability, physical activity, and types of macronutrients, and also represent other metabolic profiles and ages.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10756,"journal":{"name":"Current Developments in Nutrition","volume":"9 7","pages":"Article 107487"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144571073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
