Let's ask what actual athletes do - I seriously doubt they eat one meal a day. [/quote]

You can't possibly think those are credible information sources.  Actual athletes fuel their bodies.  They don't starve them.[/quote]

Why don't you actually read these articles with an open mind? I remember being shocked that ultramarathoner Scott Jurek was a vegan, which defied conventional wisdom about athletic performance. When I ran marathons in the 80s, carb loading, Gu and Gatorade were considered absolute necessities.

There isn't one "right" way to eat.[/quote]

true.  but I seriously doubt there are a huge number of actual athletes who eat 1x/day. That would be one huge meal. [/quote]

Stop being so literal. Even OP said she will eat more than one meal if she feels like she needs to. We are just pushing back on the idea that it's impossible to be healthy and/or athletic if you do any kind of fasting. One meal a day would be pretty extreme for most of us, granted, but there are some people on this forum who insist on calling everything an eating disorder.
