ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient; IDATA, the Interactive Diet and Activity Tracking in AARP.

1

Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated using a 1-way linear mixed effects model with and without fixed covariates.

2

IDATA participants completed ≤ 6 24-h dietary recalls.

3

Duration of overnight fasting (in h) was estimated by calculating the time between the first and the last eating episode of the day and subtracting from 24-h.

4

Midpoint of the overnight fasting period was calculated as the duration of overnight fasting divided by 2 and added to the start time of the overnight fasting.

5

The number of eating episodes was calculated as an ordinal variable and included any time-stamped eating episode associated with calorie-containing food or beverage consumption (≥25 calories).
