Healthy Eating Patterns During a Lifestyle Intervention

Thirty adults will be provided an 8-week standard lifestyle intervention, that includes a 1200-1500 kcal/day, \< 30% energy from fat dietary prescription, and a physical activity goal of 200 minutes/week. Participants will be randomized to one of two conditions differing in EF using a prescription we have tested previously. One condition will limit the number of eating bouts/day to three (Three Meal), while the second condition will consume at least 100 kcal every 2 to 3 hours which should lead to approximately 6 eating bouts/day (Grazing).
