Stopped: Trial was planned for 2020, but Melbourne 2020 and 2021 lockdowns hindered the study.
There is some evidence to suggest that the timing of a meal intake directly impacts postprandial insulin and glucose responses, with meals consumed later during the day being more metabolically detrimental that the same meals consumed during the day. This information is particularly pertinent to the 16% of people employed in shift-work professions in Australia who have little choice but to eat during the late evening and overnight. The purpose of this study is to compare two effect of different meals or snacks (control vs test meal) on blood glucose and insulin at night time in healthy adults. This study will enable to develop suitable meals to consume at night time that can reduce the higher glucose and insulin responses that are a consequence of eating late into the night.

Postprandial plasma glucose area under the curve (iAUC)
Timeframe: Three hour glucose iAUC will be calculated at nine time points (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 mins) after beginning consumption of the test meal.
Postprandial plasma insulin iAUC
Timeframe: Three hour glucose iAUC will be calculated at seven time points (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 mins) after beginning consumption of the test meal.
