Anybody can function with one meal a day?

[dwiley11]

I do it every day

[anitaraemillspalmer]

I have had a lot of days with one meal a day and I function perfectly fine and never feel hungry andbody else feel this way too. I can wake up around 10 go to school all day eat around 5pm go back to school get home around 11pm and do hw and go to sleep ad im not hungry im sure this is not healthy but sometimes its just what happens

Some days yes and some days no...more no days than yes days

Sometimes when I am really involved in a project and don't do much physical activity during the day I have forgotten to eat my normal meals but that is pretty rare. My brother has always been fine with eating very seldom during the day without much trouble but I don't know how he does it. I'm sure it isn't very healthy to do all the time especially if you are missing out of good nutrients that you need to function because of it.

no you must eat 3 meals a day to be healthy

I believed it can function your body alright but not normally to your brain system! Human always need 3 meals a days and also snack
between each meal!! And thats really make functionall in every vein excellent and normal brains.. i sometimes have one meal plus snacks to function my brain straight. One meal a day ok but you wont be concentrating on your study... except if you are catholic christian
that there is a month that people have to eat one meal a day about a week so...

No I definitely can't function on one meal a day. I work around food and I exercise 5-6 times every week so I need to eat a lot so I have enough energy to make it through my day.

most of the time we only eat two meals a day and one of those is a very small meal and yes I think its possible to make it on one meal a day albeit like you said may not be healthy. But you do what you can do and have time to do

If we’re not too active, ideally one meal a day should suffice. Instead of eating, I find sitting out in the sun for a brief moment helps me feel nourished as well.

[quietpal]

No, I couldn't do it. It is not healthy for me. I try to make sure I eat throughout the day and I'm trying to incorporate more healthy foods into my life.

[CharmedPhoenix]

I've done it, but it wasn't planned.  I'm not hungry when I wake up so I don't eat right away, then I get involved in a project and forget to eat until later.  It usually results in two meals though, unless I have to change from my usual night schedule to a very early morning day schedule.

There is a dietary philosophy called something like restrictive eating where they purposely eat minimally for better health.  I think that's like Dr Hymen's "Eat To Live" book.  If you eat the right things and keep your blood sugar balanced it makes you healthier.

Different strokes for different folks.

I actually do okay with one meal a day.  I'm not a big breakfast eater...so if I have one nice meal I'm not as hungry and I can kindof eat what I want.

[mehavenomemory]

Have to eat 5 or 6 small meals because diabetic.. before I was diabetic.. One or two meals a day, or catch somethng while I was on the run.. But now it is very important I always eat small 5 or 6 times..

[timandvicky1]

I normally only eat 1 meal a day, and then have a snack in the evening.  I think everybody is different, that might not work for the next person, but I have never been able to eat a meal 3 times a day. 

[karenkowalczyk]

  I don't think this is good to do every day but once in a while maybe. I have days were I want to eat everything and other days I'm not hungry but you should be eating when you can and try to make snacks to go granola bars, breakfast bars, friut snacks, almonds, this is our fuel we can't run out of fuel especially on busy days. and most important before eating drinking enough water.

[kilophkadamas]

I've tried this before, and I can honestly say that I can't function on just one meal. There's just too much time around the day where i'm hungry, and then if I eat that one big meal, I usually end up really sleepy.
