just make sure in that one meal a day you are getting enough calories to fuel your body. if your wanting to eat say 1400 calories. then that meal needs to be 1400 calories(not couting exercise).I see too many eating so little then wish they hadnt down the line due to health issues,lethargy,etc.

I hope you update this thread with your progress, I'm too thinking of doing that, right now I'm doing two meals a day in an 8 hour window.

I lost over 100lbs doing omad and never felt deprived. Now I'm doing keto and adding back omad once I get the hang of it. I have 50-60lbs more to lose

it will work for weight loss as long as you are in a deficit, and as long as it helps you to stick to your calorie goal it can be done. but it IS possible to overeat even on OMAD. ask the many here that have done it and have gained, although for most OMAD it will be hard for them to go over calories it does happen. if you can sustain it then go for it. but its not going to be sustainable for everyone.
