Once-daily feeding is associated with better cognitive function and health in companion dogs @DogAgingProject biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Preprint, not peer-reviewed yet. Correlation does not equal causation. Still, really interesting I think! @DrEmilyBray @BrianahMccoy

For those who know me, you're aware I'm not a big believer in time restricted feeding (I like to eat). And this study absolutely doesn't prove TRF is causal for the observed association with reduced disease risk in dogs. But it's intriguing, isn't it?
Lots of things we don't know. Are dogs fed once a day less likely to be obese? More active? Eat different types of diets? Will this replicate in another study population?
What is the metabolic impact of eating once per day in dogs compared to multiple feedings per day? It's my understanding dogs don't go into ketogenesis unless fasted for a couple of days. Other metabolic effects?
This was such a fun way to start diving into the data from the @DogAgingProject Pack. Really enjoyed working with the team on this & especially impressed with the fantastic early-career scientist co-authors @DrEmilyBray @BrianahMccoy and Zihan Zheng
