Mini Mikkipedia - Short Eating Windows: Why Less Time Isn’t Less Food

In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki breaks down why short eating windows and time-restricted eating (TRE) don’t always deliver the fat loss results people expect—especially for active women. Drawing on key research, including the TREAT trial and Sutton’s early time-restricted feeding study, she explains how compressing your eating window doesn’t reliably reduce calorie intake and may even compromise body composition. Mikki also explores the interaction between exercise and appetite, highlighting how fasted training combined with delayed eating can amplify hunger signals and drive overeating later in the day. The takeaway? It’s not a willpower issue—it’s physiology. This episode offers a practical, evidence-based look at how to align nutrition with training, appetite, and real-life behaviour for better outcomes. Highlights: Why shorter eating windows don’t guarantee lower calorie intake The risk of increased lean mass loss with TRE How fasted training + delayed eating drives compensatory hunger The difference between metabolic benefits vs real-world behaviour Practical strategies to align eating patterns with training and appetite Contact Mikki: NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at , or Curranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at or off your first order
