I eat a healthy dinner that rarely changes...big fresh green salad and either nuts, salmon or chicken breast. I try to eat no meat twice a week and just have nuts in my salad. I Buy a low carb no sugar added bread online that I have with my salad and use fresh avocado or hummus as a spread on the bread. Sometimes I will have a raw apple in my salad....but that is it as far as going off the usual menu.
I eat my meal at about 4 pm.... and that's it until 4 pm the next day. I just feel better and function better not digesting FOOD all day long. The almond milk fills me up and seems to be enough.
What’s the name of the bread, please, @SeaMaiden?

Yes. Always. If I don’t, I end up snacking and gaining weight.

When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes years ago, I was instructed to eat breakfast with 30 minutes of getting up and than to eat several small meals throughout the day. Bad advice as I was always thinking about food.
Now, like @cherry, I eat one or two meals during the day. Surprisingly, I’m less hungry doing this.
Growing up I ate three meals and had a snack. Breakfast was just a bowl of sugary cereal though:/

I actually eat five meals every day - three regular meals and two snacks. I started eating this way to regain some weight that I lost.

Yep.

Almost always.
I also follow a 16-8 intermittent fast as it works well for me and my schedule. But I still eat three meals in that 8 hour window. Almost always!

Yes, I eat three meals a day and assumed most people did. The dieticians at work always said it is important to maintain blood sugar levels. I can't imagine a nutritionist telling people not to either eat three regular meals a day or six small meals for some medical conditions. No one is going to lose weight because they don't eat three meals a day.
