Eating in within a nine hour window is very healthy so skiping breakfast and lunch is good. Should get more sleep though.

If you're going to go for a single meal a day you should be doing breakfast

      So, if I consume 2,500 cal per day at breakfast, fast the rest of the day, and keep my weight steady, then consuming 2,500 cal at supper instead of at breakfast will cause me to build fat reserves. It seems to me that, as a corollary, I can consume 2,000 cal at supper instead of 2,500 at breakfast and still hold my fat reserves steady. The calories from supper are used with greater efficiency. So, given that I can choose freely how many calories to consume at any time, aren't calories consumed later in the day actually _better_ on a lot of dimensions? Also, the breakfast depicted in that article looks delicious.

      This seems to assume you need to lose weight...

  Most of the IF (intermittant fasting) community skips breakfast/lunch from what I've seen.

    That's what I've gathered too; I've been doing IF for a couple of weeks now, and my diet consists of one meal a day that I try to keep between 1k and 1.5k calories. My only refined sugar intake is two biscuits a day (46kcal each) after dinner, and my vitamin C comes from either a kiwifruit or an orange.

  If you're doing a single meal a day, that meal is always breakfast.

    What is your source this obviously false statement?
    - vanterdon 8y ago
      It's absolutely true - "Breakfast" means to break your fast, so the first meal after fasting is your "Breakfast"

        Mine is called dinner.
