“…The preliminary results showed a reduction in BMI, weight, waist circumference, pain, and severity of FM [ 42 ] but no impact on body composition. However, in a recent study, body fat was positively correlated with the widespread pain index, and muscle was negatively correlated with the FIQ questionnaire score, suggesting that body composition should represent a basic element in the clinical approach of patients with FM [ 79 ]. Other studies have found that body fat percentage is higher in people with FM than in the healthy population [ 80 ], and higher muscle mass is associated with better psychological health, less pain, and a lower impact of FM symptoms [ 50 ], thus stressing the relevance of body composition in FM outcomes.…”

Fibromyalgia (FM) is often accompanied by chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). It is a poorly understood disorder that mainly affects women and leads to chronic pain, fatigue, and insomnia, among other symptoms, which decrease quality of life. Due to the inefficiency of current pharmacological treatments, increasing interest is being directed towards non-pharmacological multicomponent therapies. However, nutrition and chronobiology are often overlooked when developing multicomponent therapies. This narrative and critical review explore the relevance of nutritional and chronobiological strategies in the therapeutic management of FM and the often-associated CFS. Reviewed literature offers scientific evidence for the association of dietary habits, nutrient levels, body composition, gut microbiota imbalance, chronobiological alterations, and their interrelation with the development and severity of symptoms. This review highlights the key role of nutrition and chronobiology as relevant and indispensable components in a multidisciplinary approach to FM and CFS.
