Anyone else eat 1 meal a day?

Are you talking about eating a 2-3k calorie meal in one seating? When are you eating this?

Eating 3000 calories is the equivalent of eating 6 double cheeseburgers. Im not advocating eating bad food, but I think id be sick if I ate all that in one go. Even something healthy id be struggling to eat in one sitting.

This is my concern as well. One meal will be tantamount to gorging and that certainly is not appropriate.

With time your stomach will get used to it, trust me. Now if I don't eat a 2,000 cal meal, I just don't feel emotionally satisfied. Your will body adapt.

That I have no doubt. If you limit your caloric intake for several weeks, you would find a similar, though opposite effect - i.e. eating larger meals after an extended caloric deficit would be difficult if not painful until you adjust to increases in volume.

My interest in all this is not capacity based, rather the efficacy with which your body utilizes the macros when provided in a single larger meal versus distributed across several moderate sized (600-1000 calories) meals throughout the day.

I can't imagine trying to eat 4,200 cals of whole foods in just one sitting. The thought alone makes my stomach hurt. lol
