Eating meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner just because it's time for them.
Well i can tell you if i would eat all 3 meals every day i would be fat. I usually eat breakfast and lunch, or lunch and dinner. Skipping meals, starving once in a while never hurt anybody, considering you give a break to your digestive system,and you can live longer according to science.
Once when i was young (23) i lived like an anorexic for 2 months eating food just to get by, an apple, a tea, a slice of bread, a banana a day, and an exercise plan made by me: push up, weights, crunches, sit ups, every day. I got down to 100 pounds and i looked my best in my whole life, and kept my weight like that after returning to my normal diet for a long time. Then i had internet to learn all the good stuff on nutrition:
I didn't know that time that eating that badly will eat up at my muscles, yet i was gaining muscle everyday, my mom tried stopping me doing much anymore, she said i was getting too muscular.
I had abs when i did crunches and all kind of ab exercizes, and now that i know that those not do very much on loosing belly fat i,m not doing them anymore and i have a fat belly.
Skipping meals will slow down metabolism, they say, while when i skipped them i was at my leanest and healthy.
Conclusion: Do whats best for you. Knowledge didn't help me much in this territory.
