    I thought it was an interesting video, but I am pretty uneducated when it comes to nutrition and am only just getting started. My first thought regarding eating once per day is, how do you get enough nutrients such as vitamins, minerals etc? One thing that MFP has shown me in the short time I've been using it is that it takes quite a lot of work to get the RDI of vitamins and minerals and I can't see how you'd achieve this in just one meal. I would appreciate anyone elses thought's on this.

    It is possible and there is nothing wrong with eating OMAD, but you don't have to. Meal timing is irrelevant to 99% of the population.

    A lot of people like OMAD as it helps them eat fewer calories and some people find it helps them be less hungry also.

    It does not do any thing else that this video claims to my knowledge and I'm still waiting on the OP to provide any studies to read.

    Thanks! Some of the video's content went over my head. I'll have to rewatch and try and get a better understanding.

    One thing I've found with MFD is that if you're calorie intake is below a certain level, it won't give you a daily completion result, instead it says your calorie intake is dangerously low and that MFD considers that kind of dieting dangerous or words to the effect. I'm guessing it wouldn't support a OMAD strategy.

    It would as long as you have enough calories in your one meal. Cause that is what counts.
