NWIL | In my early 40s, essentially been eating one meal a day for two decades. Its very very very rare for me to have any sort of breakfast, gave that up in high school. I'll eat lunch occasionally, but if its actually a meal often I won't eat at night. The evening meal is usually what I eat, and for the most part its of a meat and potato (or rice/pasta) variety. If I eat two real meals in a day, I just feel not right. My life has just kinda evolved into that, no thought or effort put into it.
I'm definitely a hunter as they say. My wife and daughter are the gatherers, they NEED their three meals a day with mid morning and mid afternoon bite of something, for the betterment of us all. They don't understand me, I don't understand how they can't function if they just skip a meal.
As dad once said, some people live to eat, and there are people like you that eat to live. Its like sleeping to me, an annoyance I have to do. Its probably not healthy, but it is what it is. I am getting better about recognizing that I do need some nourishment as there have been several times during a stressful spring or fall stretch where all of the sudden I've realized that I haven't eaten a thing in three days or so, not even a handful of chips or the like.
Now don't get me wrong, I do love some good grilled meat, smoking and grilling beef/pork/lamb/chicken is about the closest thing I've found to a hobby. I'd say overall I'm pretty healthy, at a good weight of 165. For a few winters after going full time farming instead of part time I was eating a second meal about three days a week, weight went up to 170-171 and I just felt huge and sluggish.
Everyone is different.
