A while ago I switched to a habit of eating only one big meal a day to get the bulk of my nutrition. The timing doesn't matter that much, just whatever is convenient and what feels good for me any given day. It is flexible though. It might be one big meal and a second smaller meal. Or one big meal and small healthy, nutritious snacks throughout the day to make up for whatever the big meal lacked. This works a lot better for me as I do not have to plan for 3-4 meals every single day. Being human, I might not want to eat the same dish more than once, so I have to figure out different things for each meal which really stresses me out. 3-4 meals a day might work for me if I was always eating prepared food though. With one meal a day, I simply cook 3-4 servings of whatever I felt like eating and eat all or most of it in one sitting until I feel satisfied. My intuition also tells me that digesting one meal only at a regular time every day is better than digesting 3-4 different meals spread across the day. The concept of fasting is to give your body a break from digesting and stuff right, giving it time to naturally release any bad stuff through the natural processes. If one day I've eaten too much junk and feel bloated, I give myself the next day a break from eating at all. Like a 24 hour fast. Or you could just do a 16 hour fast and only eat a small healthy dinner. What's valuable to me is this flexibility. I've read that before farming, food was harder to come by, so humans back then didn't really get to eat 3-4 meals every single day. They might catch something or whatever and eat all of it that day like a feast, and then it might be another 1 or 2 days before they can eat that much again.
The number one benefit of one meal a day perhaps for me, is that you can organize/plan your digestion, if you know what I mean. Imagine being able to control and plan for when you need to poop. I can do that with this diet. I basically never have to use public restrooms except for urination. It's a blessing really.
