    I couldn't physically eat sufficient food to cover my micronutrient requirements in one meal, but I do eat most of my calories at night. I eat a meal in the afternoon, train about 530, get home and eat dinner then dessert before bed.

    I could in no way eat only 1 meal a day, my mom used to do that and it caused her to be so hungry that she would eat a ton and gained a bunch of weight, I have since convinced her she needs to eat more often, and she has lost 70lvs eating 3 meals a day with zero snacking.

    I on the other hand do not eat breakfast, im not hungry and if I do, I tend to be hungry all day, but I usually eat a snack at 10 or 10:30am, lunch about 12:30, snack at 3pm, and dinner at 630pm, and that's what works for me.

    One meal a day is just asking to fail in my opinion, but i guess it may work for some.

    Results have nothing to do with meal frequency or timing.... Achieving the desired result means I need to stick to my calorie goal. I've eaten like this to lose, maintain and purposefully gain weight.

    Research shows that times, frequency of eating, distribution of calories, mix of foods, etc. have little to no predictable effect on weight loss. Do what works for you in terms of scheduling eating. The fundamental driving factor for weight loss is whether you consume, over the long term, fewer or more calories than you burn.

    If OMAD helps you limit your calorie intake, fine. If six small meals a day does, that's okay, too. You can do intermittent fasting, only eat during certain times, have a large breakfast and a small supper or whatever else helps you maintain a calorie limit. You can alternate high calorie days with low calorie days. Whatever works for you.
