"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes DUTY!" - Thomas Jefferson
Well I managed to only eat twice today. Had a big breakfast at 12:30, and big supper at 20:30. 2064 calories of my 2100 goal. Wasn't to bad, but really doubt I could eat once a day and not be miserable.

Don't count calories....doesnt matter and is counter productive.
Read Good Calories Bad Calories....
How can that be?

Its more in what you eat than the calorie count. A focus on animal protein, along with certain fats and veggies. I could eat like a pig and still not hit a set calorie count. I just ate when I was hungry, and until I felt full. Usually a few times a day. Full of energy and feeling good.

Essayons!
What he said. Calorie in, calorie out is a cruel lie. It also depends on how you metabolize food.
Read the book for a complete (non-scientific) explanation.
The one thing that helped me the MOST is dropping soft drinks and sugar, ALL sugar. Then I adjusted to eating a more healthy diet, not perfect... just more healthy. Dropped ALL the junk food and junk snacks.
I ate whenever I was hungry, but it was an apple or something for snacks.
My first 25 lbs (or so?) dropped off like a bad habit and I feel a lot better. Now, to drop the *OTHER* 25 lbs I need to get rid of!!

I do focus on animal protein and good fats. But if I don't count my calories i will probably eat over 5k a day. I will eat when I get hungry if I don't keep up with it. I almost always feel hungry. For example today was my cheat meal. I ate about 4k calories just for supper, and i am not full.

Sugar is bad, right?
Of the half-dozen or so different types of dietary sugar, the worst one of all for your body is fructose. The one in 'natural, healthy' fruit.
The body has no feedback mechanism to tell you to quit eating fructose, that you've had enough. It can't be used by the body in cells, it has to be converted to either glycogen or triglycerides (fatty acids), which lead to high cholesterol.
That apple? Fructose. I'm not saying don't eat fruit, but be very, very careful. An apple or an orange isn't necessarily bad for you, but it's not good for you either. And any processed fruit flavored anything (fruit juice, fruit roll-up, fruit filling, etc) is indeed bad for you.
Don't even get me started on high fructose corn syrup. Thanks, ADM and USDA for killing thousands of Americans.
