Calorie distribution

Calorie intake timing	Mean±SD		P (unpaired t-test)
Calorie intake timing	Calorie intake (Kcal) case	Calorie intake (Kcal) control	P (unpaired t-test)
4:00-10:00	461.09±199.05	528.35±204.84	0.001
10:00-16:00	814.60±213.62	757.15±158.43	0.094
16:00-22:00	809.96±199.40	781.00±190.59	0.003
22:00-4:00	82.87±179.27	73.78±175.67	0.603

In the comparison of calorie distribution in the case and the control group a statistical significant difference is found in the time slot 4:00 am–10:00 am (P=0.001) and time slot 16:00–22:00 (P=0.003). In contrast there is little significant difference in time slots 10:00 am–16:00 and 22:00–4:00 am.P value was calculated using unpaired t-test. SD: Standard deviation
