I have only eaten 1 meal a day for the last 20 years. I do work a desk job now but I was doing tree removal 12 hours per day when I started so don't tell me you can't do physical labor on one meal per day.
+1 for that. I'm on OMAD throughout the week and have been since... yea also going on 20 years. Weekends I would usually be more lax depending on my work load, but through my 20s and most of my 30s I was in the 1k lb. club weighing ~180 lbs. (squat 405 lbs., dead 415 lbs., bench 305 lbs.). And I ran 2-3 times/week for a weekly total of 15-20 miles except when marathon training in which case it was at least 3x/week for totals of >30 miles.
So yea it's very doable to be strong/healthy and eat once/day. I got into it because eating throughout the day just seemed to bog me down. Eat a bunch at night, recover and digest in sleep, rinse and repeat.
I'd say only if you're a pro bodybuilder do you need to constantly be feeding yourself, and that's because you're wasting drugs if you're not constantly eating.
and that's because you're wasting drugs if you're not constantly eating.
+1 for that little dose of reality right there.
