One meal a day here that always has a large amount of salad. Get by lunch with just a bit of cheese and apples. Only coffee for breakfast. Works for me, milage may vary. I really like how an ~2k calorie dinner knocks me out all night for a deep sleep though.

I couldn’t do that. I seem to be metabolically required to eat almost immediately after waking up. I make breakfast and lunch my meals of the day and dinner light-just enough to get me to the next morning.

Similar for me. I do a light (but legitimate) breakfast or I get physically ill. Lunch is my main meal. Little snack for dinner, if anything. I don't sleep well on a full stomach.

Once you cut out carbs it’s 1000x easier.
