Hi Dave

That is quite similar to what I do now, usually one meal a day, but  
occasionally 2 or 3.

Maybe what I will do is skip eating, or eat a very light meal, only on  
days when I'm not active.  I train at the gym 3 or 4 times a week  
usually so I could maybe have two off-days where I eat just veg.   
Going the gym takes about 2 hours anyway so I get less done on those  
days no matter what I do.

Don't you find that just eating a larger evening meal helps?
