Registered dietitians frequently navigate conflicting guidance on breakfast, meal timing, and fasting. How does the clock truly impact metabolic factors, and in what clinical scenarios is it better to advise eating versus fasting? This dynamic, debate-style session breaks down the confusion.

Our expert presenters will kick off by evaluating the physiological evidence and metabolic benefits behind chrono-nutrition and time-restricted eating patterns. Moving beyond theory, the speakers will then engage in a structured debate examining the real-world feasibility and socioeconomic equity of implementing these strict protocols across diverse patient populations. To ensure actionable insights, the session concludes with an interactive case scenario, allowing attendees to directly apply the science and behavioral strategies discussed to their own private practices and clinical settings.
