I imagine that if you're training for an endurance-based competition, getting all of your required calories in one sitting once a day will either not happen reliably, or be really uncomfortable.

There's a lot of calorie in fats and sugars. It's quite easy to eat a single meal at some place like Carls Jr or Burger King and meet your calorie needs for the day of a run...and then some. If you eat at Cheesecake Factory, it's hard to find a meal which wouldn't satisfy your calorie needs for an several days.

Endurance training involves eating a lot in any case. It's not that difficult. Fasting for 16 hours would still give you an 8 hour window to down the foods.
