I couldn't do it, there has been times where I could do one meal and some snack, but next day I'm hungry and need to eat something. I guess if I slowly started eating less and less, there would be a point where I'd get used to it, and would be perfectly fine with one meal a day. If today, I would start doing one meal a day, having lived all my life with 3 meals a day, I wouldn't be able to function normally. Maybe a sporadic day here and there, but consecutive days, no way. I'd also be worried about not getting enough nutrition, unless that single meal would be coupled together with some supplements or something.

It depends on who it is.  Trust me, I don't see it happening in my family anytime soon.  My husband, on some mornings, eats breakfast; on some mornings, he tells me he is fasting but eats a big dinner.  I have only seen one person in my lifetime eat one meal a day, and that was my late friend's brother. But he ate dinner for breakfast and it lasted him all day.  I can't tell you that about me because I need to lose a few pounds or more but I love to eat. :heart:

I used to do it quite often! I was working 86 miles (one way) from home and I would normally only eat lunch. I was on the road for breakfast and by the time I got home, I just wanted to go to bed. I would say I felt tired alot but, that could have been getting out of bed at 4:30 am and getting home at 8:30 pm, a 16 hr day 5 days a week. You got to do - what you got to do though!!

I can do it if it's one big mean, but I don't like to.

I like eating three small-ish meals and two snacks between those meals.

Never tried it every body is it's own machine but a person burns calories faster if they are constanly snacking (healthy) way faster way of burning calories

There are  some days I only eat one meal but it's not on purpose or by choice. I always end of gaining weight when I don't eat smaller meals throughout the day so I try to avoid it

I remember in one episode of 'Bizarre Foods', Andrew Zimmern, the host, met a Japanese inventor who only eats one meal per day. He told Andrew, it was best to only eat one meal per day.

My mother hammered the importance of breakfast and I just cannot do without it.  I do eat frequently and graze or I don't feel well.  Always 3 meals a day.

It depends on how late I eat or how much I have eaten for breakfast or lunch, but normally no I don't think I could go for long without eating at least twice or three times a day. In between those times I will eat a snack or something to tide me over.

Not me. And more small meals a day is healthier for you.

I eat when I get hungry but that typically means one meal a day.  There are some days (probably once a week) when I snack on and off all day other than that I only eat dinner.  I don't think it is the healthiest way to eat but I have done it for years.
