Yeah...Ever since I discovered IF via LeanGains...I eat really big but massive meals. Most days are 2 meals over 1,000 calories each...with the occasional ESE method of one meal a day at around 1500 or so calories. Been great...eating such big meals makes me full and satisfied for hours. THe frequent smaller meals always left me unsatisfied and starving.

Here is an example of a guy who eats ONE meal a day and it works for him.

Two at most. Sometimes one. Occasionally zero.

I'm usually hitting two legit meals and one little snack (some nuts, a piece of fruit, etc.) per day and feel good.

A normal day is a late breakfast around 11am of eggs, bacon, and greens (all cooked in bacon fat) and then ~8oz of beef and a large fresh veggie salad and some steamed veggies for "dinner" around 4pm.

I eat negative two meals a day. Oh, what's that, Mark Sisson, you're still "fasting" with zero meals a day? That's probably still cool. (Fatty.)

One or two meals a day has been working for me lately. I was really inspired by the Lean Gains protocols as well as learning that Herschel Walker eats only one meal a day and has since highschool.

here is an interview where he talks about it.

I do a good amount of CrossFit and generally feel that I require three. Please don't hate me.

Yup...works well for me. But looks like I eat a little more than you :)...add about a half pound of bacon to breakfast and a large salad and another 6oz of meat to dinner and thats about exactly what I eat.

I love two meals a day, but I have to admit when I wanted to lose weight I would alternate it with 3 meals. Now that I'm bout were I like I just eat the two every day.

Yep. I've been doing two meals a day for over a year now. I usually don't need much more than that!

Sometimes, but not on purpose. I just let it happen when it happens.

I never consciously set out to eat two meals a day, it just started happening (about 3 months into Paleo). Now I eat two meals almost exclusively, but if I eat lunch/supper too early I might saute up some veggies as a light third meal (usually happens on a workout day).

Art DeVany recommends against "grazing" (snacking throughout the day) because when we eat we turn off our fat-burning mechanisms. By that logic two meals a day would be superior to three, more time to digest and burn food energy. I don't know if one would be superior to two, though - I don't think I could fit 2,500 calories into my stomach at once.

Generally, unless you count the heavy cream in my morning coffee as a meal.

Err... I have at least 3 meals, mostly 4: Breakfast(8:00), Post-Workout (11:00), Lunch (14:30), Dinner (20:00).

Doing CrossFit 5 to 6 times per week. On rest-days I eat 3 meals. And I surely eat way more than you do. I haven't kept track of my menu's lately but it used to be around 3000-4000 Kcal.

2 meals plus morning coffee. Morning coffee is with half & half, so there's some calories there, but hardly qualifying as a meal.

I eat 2 meals a day except for some hot tea and dark chocolate at night sometimes. Like Dan said it came about naturally. I eat until I'm full and then I don't eat again until I'm hungry. Sometimes if I'm busy I'll eat 1 meal a day which I will then count in my intermittent fasting.

If I end up eating more than two I notice I'm not hungry the next day hardly at all.

I will eat an omelette with mushroom and sausage and bacon in the morning. If I'm still hungry I'll eat some coconut chips.

Later I'll eat something like steak, baby spinach salad with red onion, olive oil and avocado.

I recently cut coconut oil from my coffee and I have not noticed my hunger increase. Trying to my last bit of weight now so experimenting. After I get it down I'm excited to add some sweet potatoes.

I just recently started eating two meals a day, hence digging up this thread. I've found it has a few challenges.

One -- meal size. I'm a stocky guy, and increasingly active, so I need my meals to be big and filling. This has meant upping my carbs a bit, but also keeping up good energy sources, like salmon. If I don't get enough calories, I'm more prone to binge.

Two -- what macronutrients to eat during which meal. I feel better if my first meal is mostly fat, with some protein (i.e. eggs, yogurt, fish, etc), but my second meal protein with a fair dose of carbs (meat with veggies and tubers). The second meal being heavier on carbs also has improved my sleep. In either case I eat big portions to meet my caloric needs.

Three -- hydration. If I drink enough water, two meals is more than satisfying.

Last -- this is harder to do on workout days, but I'm still working on it. In any case I've gotten good results and am getting leaner and stronger. It seems that my best workouts are between meals, with fats for energy and carbs for recovery, but I'm not sure if this affects me burning fat stores.

this diet is great i tell you. if youre determined. im in my 13th day now. my stomach looks great i never thought it could be possible lol... this diet is so good im afraid to even slip up during the day... i know my eating times are 8am and 8pm. i have my own good reasons why i chose this time slot.... o ive lost 3kg... and i do have dessert after dinner sometime. love it.

two meals? - sounds scary...

one meal (consisting of dead animals) at most, no food at all on some days

I plan on only eating one meal (thanks to Leangains) but if I get hungry before dinner, I'll eat. Nothing bad happens :)

yup i eat once or twice a day.

if i feel like eating more, i do, if not i dont :)

I usually only have two to three meals a day. I usually eat before and after I workout at night, and sometimes I'll have breakfast too.

Same here! So much more convenient as well. Actually, recently I've been thinking about doing 1 meal a day... or just a much smaller morning meal.

Two meals for me! Sometimes big, sometimes small... It all depends on how I am feeling! Do what works best for you - there is NO one-size-fits-all approach.

Leangins. Noon and night. Done. Happy.
