a, b Experiment 2 meal size and inter-meal interval distributions as in Fig. 2. c Both meal size and inter-meal interval varied with time of day during ad lib conditions. d The mean pellet drop schedule based on n = 12 mice is shown; the peak in intake at the end of the night was not as pronounced as in experiment 1. Both ZT12 and FT12 occur at 1700 PST. e After free-running in darkness with scheduled feeding, mice were switched to TRF conditions with 12-h food availability (FT12 at 0500 PST)
