- NEW!
by Perryman on April 24th, 2009
Yes, but I would never want to have to do that.
by Timjon on April 23rd, 2009
Live--yes, enjoy--no.
by -NUNYA-- on April 23rd, 2009
Yes I already do that. Sometimes I might not eat for 3 days. Sometimes food just don't sound good! +5
by Bookworm on April 23rd, 2009
yes.
But it would be hard, I am a grazer by nature.
by Spicy Hot on April 23rd, 2009
I dont know for how long, buit I could.
by Nick on April 24th, 2009
I could survive, but I would not call that living.
by Its still Ridiculous on April 23rd, 2009
If I have to. Yes.
Don't wanna have to though.
by anddeb on April 23rd, 2009
yes that is what I usually have anyway.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on April 23rd, 2009
Yes, indefinitely, depending on the size of the meal. But I wouldn't like it.
by Cassandra the Crusader on April 23rd, 2009
I'm lucky if I eat one meal a day due to time constraints. Once I fall into my chair at home after completing everything else I have to do, that's when I have a bite to eat. Is it healthy? No but I try to make my food choice a healthy one for me.
by Little Miss Dangerous on April 23rd, 2009
Easily, but it's very unhealthy for the metabolism.
by Bigessfour wears a Army COAT on April 23rd, 2009
Yep, i could.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on May 25th, 2009
Yes, I've done that many times.
by Celeste: It is what it is. Like it or not on May 22nd, 2009
Doing it now-not bad,though,but if I would'nt be a diebetic...*
by Suny on April 26th, 2009
You could live, yes.
by Ironhead on April 24th, 2009
I could, but would not want to.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on April 24th, 2009
Yes I could. Some people have nothing to eat. I would try to make sure to make it a very nutrient-dense meal and not include any junk food which makes you hungrier.
by daisychain on April 24th, 2009
Yes, I would be very hungry and irritable. That meal had better have sustained release energy food in it. I would rather have one meal than no meal though.
by Kewl Guy - has gone 360 on April 24th, 2009
sure! done it before, but it get old REALLY fast!
by kat on April 23rd, 2009
YES!But not good for us.
by Carl_07 on April 23rd, 2009
Yes, I have done It many times when I am very busy at work,when sometimes I do not have time to eat.
by Rahbar on April 23rd, 2009
YES!

by Roselynn...unregistered text offender... on April 23rd, 2009

(Looks down) And I still need to lose weight. Psh. Lame.

by OttoZone on April 23rd, 2009
yes it's called the warrior diet from way back i believe from the greek or roman empire days when you would only have the chance to eat one large meal
by Kayleigh on August 14th, 2009
I had only one meal per day when I lived on my own and lost my job. It wasnt even a proper meal because I had to spread just a little food over all of the week. So yes I can live on it.
by Aries RSA on June 22nd, 2009
For as long as I remember I have only had one meal a day. Not through poverty or anything as sad as that, just because thats the way it always has been.
by philosopher-saint on June 20th, 2009
As I've done most of my adult life!
;-)
by rachee on May 26th, 2009
If it was a big meal, yes, I could. I'd hate it though.
by Bettyboop on May 7th, 2009
I have done that before and i got used to it...............maybe I should do it again.
by Wisdom Tooth on May 7th, 2009
For a short time in my student days I lived on one meal in two days.
by Big on May 6th, 2009
Yes I could...in fact I usually do. I guess I get full and just don't feel like eating any more.
by Kommandor Kody on May 6th, 2009
With the size of one of our breakfasts we cook we're trying to finish eating it 16 hours later! I can handle one sixteen hour meal a day ANYTIME!
by royal77 says hello friend on May 2nd, 2009
Yes, I could with one meal a day.
by technios on April 26th, 2009
Yes... for quite some time. Since I started doing my community slavery at the salvation army I have been eating more than the last few months. I owe them a couple extra hours that I will be happy to give. DID YOU KNOW that you can help people harvest fruits and vegitables that would spoil from lack of consumers on a fuitfull property and give them a tax break based on the value of the harvest!
by MrJosh on April 26th, 2009
I'm sure I could survive, but it would not be pleasant.
by Merfish on April 24th, 2009
Yes, if I had to.
by Kittenlady is waving to a friend on May 6th, 2009
I have done it quite alot. I have been known to go days without eating, especially when I am depressed and that seems to be every day now.
by sweetielowe on August 17th, 2009
Yes everyone could survive on one meal a day. And some would actually live longer healthier lives because for it.
Its just a social habit that we think we have to have 3 meals a day. Obviously its too much because a large preportion of the modern world is overweight.
I feel at my most healthy when a graze on fruit during the day and have a main meal.
by mtndewman44 on August 17th, 2009
I have for many years now,No breakfast,no lunch and a reasonable dinner.
by itinary on August 17th, 2009
I do take only one meal a day. Not because of poverty though.
But I have seen several fight for at least one meal a day. That is terrible and unfortunate.

When I was a teenager and up through my early 20s, I religiously ate only one meal per day, always dinner. My only exception was on Saturdays, when my grandmother would take my sister, brother, and me out for lunch. I was in college full-time at this point and working a part-time job, so my choice to eat one meal per day was based upon, firstly, that I had very little time to eat, and secondly, that, being by a nature an extremely anxious person, my stomach was usually too upset to eat much until the day was over and I felt I could relax. When I was 23, through with college and moved out of my parent's house, I started eating 2 meals a day, sometimes three. The result of that lifestyle change was a 70-pound weight gain, the loss of my slender figure, the loss of my self-esteem, and also "cognitive dulling." I realize now that I think more clearly and focus best when I haven't eaten. I'm still an anxious person, of course, and when I am busy all day out in society I am simply too uptight to eat until I get home, get done with everything I have to do, and feel like I can relax. I'm re-training myself into adopting the one-meal-a-day habit. So yes, I think a person can survive on one meal a day, and many people probably should.
by Lenny741 on July 7th, 2010
ya but it would have to be a pretty big meal!
by Linz1805 on January 17th, 2010
Yes... I could and would prefer to. I don't like to eat a lot, and I don't like to eat often. Unfortunately though, my dietician would kill me if I chose a one meal a day plan when she wants me to eat four.

Do you demand I eat it all in one sitting? And can I choose what it is? For example how many ounces of food am I allowed?
by Jadey - Vive la difference on October 2nd, 2009
Most definitely... I'd rather not have to do that though.
As we speak, a very special man called Emmanuel Jal is doing just that to raise money and support for his very worthwhile project: http://www.gua-africa.org/
by Summer on October 30th, 2009
If I had to... yes. I pray that never happens.
