Seven healthy adult men, five shift-workers and two non-shift-workers (from 21 to 36 years; mean = 26.4) volunteered to record what and when they ate, both at work and at home, every day, during eight consecutive weeks (Oct. - Dec. 1974). 1) All the subjects maintained the timing of main-meal (lunch and supper) during all shifts. 2) The major intake of protein and lipid was concentrated on the two main meals during all shifts. 3) Only the pattern of carbohydrate intake was modified by the shift-work: e.g. night-shift is associated with nibbling behaviour. 4) However, shift-work and in particular the occurence of nibbling behaviour did not result in change either in the mean 24 h caloric intake, or in the percentage of protein calories. 5) The comparison between the constancy of the timing of major meals and the shift of the timing of circadian rhythm acrophases of the 5 shift-workers leads to conclude that meal timing had a poor synchronizing effect, if any.
七名健康成年男性，其中五名轮班工人和两名非轮班工人（年龄在21至36岁之间；平均年龄 = 26.4岁）自愿在连续八周（1974年10月至12月）内记录他们在工作和家中每天吃了什么以及何时进食。1）所有受试者在所有班次中都保持主餐（午餐和晚餐）的时间安排。2）在所有班次中，蛋白质和脂质的主要摄入量都集中在两顿主餐上。3）只有碳水化合物的摄入模式会因轮班工作而改变：例如，夜班与零食行为有关。4）然而，轮班工作，尤其是零食行为的出现，并未导致24小时平均热量摄入或蛋白质热量百分比发生变化。5）对五名轮班工人主餐时间的稳定性与昼夜节律高峰相位时间的变化进行比较后得出结论，用餐时间即便有同步作用，其效果也很差。
