Re: One meal a day
Eating more meals than one will be better than simply eating one.
To be clear, getting the correct amount of calories, and macronutrients in are far more important than what time or frequency you get the meals in at, but eating more frequent meals will give some positive results over just eating one. Again, it's not a huge priority as calories and macros are, but it does affect things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef280ygiZpk Good video. All of his videos are very good actually.

Personally I don't ever really eat 3 meals a day. How I eat is based around my work schedule, if I go in in the mornings I'll usually try to eat something beforehand, but I'm usually not a big breakfast person. If I'm off, I sleep in like nobody's business..so it's basically lunch before I'm even up. That being said, if I do eat breakfast I'll skip lunch and just eat something when I get home (usually 5:30-6pm) and I'm good.

Re: One meal a day
not entirely sure on the effects on mood, but as far as metabolism goes, it's not a good idea to eat only once a day.
think of metabolism as a fire. eating one meal a day is like putting a huge log down and starting the fire on it. it's going to take a long time to burn down the log. it's the same as with your metabolism; it slows it down a lot eating only one meal. eating multiple meals (assuming it's the same amount of calories combined as the one meal) is like putting small sticks into a fire. they burn much quicker, but don't last as long. eating multiple, smaller meals makes your metabolism much quicker, and you tend to lose weight. again, not entirely sure about mood. never tried eating only one meal a day. but, it does definitely help your metabolism to eat more times in a day (I eat 7-8 times a day lol).

Re: One meal a day
I'll provide my own personal experience counterpoint to your metabolism theory.
Back 2-3, hell, even last year, I was always sitting around 195-205 for literally the longest time, and I was eating way more back then than now (because I had a girlfriend at the time and she would refuse if I didn't eat at all). Now that I'm 19, no girlfriend, with only my father and sister in the house, I scarcely eat (about 1.5 meals every two days) and I'm currently sitting at 177 lbs. Never worried about my metabolism nor would I consider it a factor to eating less, it's a natural mechanism in us that burns off the calories and other things that we consume at whatever rate you were given from birth (correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel as though we don't change metabolisms, and they vary greatly with other people).

Correlation to note though is that the poorer lifestyle (making 800$ a month from a 9.10/hr job) tends to eat less than someone with funding could handle, but people with more money tend to either waste food, or become mildly obese. I was bullied my entire grade school experience because of my obesity for eating too much when I got my tonsils removed and everyone was on a "Must Show Bones" kick, and now I get to laugh at everyone who has either became obese since then or that I look and feel healthier than most. I am proud that I have the body that I do because it was my only lifelong goal for the longest time and I was eager to hit it.

Re: One meal a day
Once upon a time, I was doing the one-meal-a-day thing. Personally, I had a hard time with it. I simply couldn't eat a day's worth of food without it being calorie-dense stuff that usually left me hungry later on at night anyway.
Two a day usually works fine for me -- one at lunch, one at dinner. No breakfast, but that may change if I can get my hands on some Vector. |
