Core Tip	This editorial discusses a randomized control trial by Yu et al published in the World Journal of Hepatology, examining the effect of nocturnal snacks on patients with advanced chronic liver disease. The study aimed to assess late evening snacks' impact on body composition in cirrhosis patients. Findings suggest that nocturnal snacks may improve body fat mass, visceral fat area, and body cell mass, though their effect on skeletal muscle mass is limited. This result underscores the need for additional research on optimizing nutritional interventions in these patients.
