These deviations may be caused by large periods of time between eating opportunities, exercise that is not adequately supported with sufficient energy, and excessively large meals. The resulting energy balance deviations are associated with alterations in insulin, leptin, and ghrelin that increase the likelihood for weight gain and its sequellae, including diabetes, certain cancers, hyperlipidemia, and heart disease. These issues and strategies for better understanding within-day energy balance will be discussed.
