I ONLY EAT ONCE A DAY...Is There Something WRONG WIth Me???
 

I am 6'1" - 190lb in decent shape. I only eat 1 meal a day, usually around 2 pm. Today I had a chicken sandwich, order of fries and a coke from Wendy's...that is about my average meal. Is it possible that my system/metabolism is just really slow. I used to eat non-stop when I was a little shit and I was skin and bone. :helpme

So long as you don't feel ill from lack of food (have symptops such as headaches, stomach aches and so on), you're fine

thats real strange i eat about 20 times a day , everyday

.....sars?

:1orglaugh ...no, it's been like this for a while, probably 2+ years, I'm mid 20's

do you exercise at all?

i guess it's alright as long as you have enough energy to keep up.

I was working out heavy weights every three days but fell off, usually work out every three for about 2 months then 2 off - no real cardio

how old are you?

well with heavy weights you're practically gaining excess mass, and with no cardio you're not shedding fat really... You might have a metabolism problem aswell.. but then again I'm no doctor.

As long as you feel Ok then I guess its Ok.

sucks...I love good food, (not just wendy's :winkwink: ) and often want to eat, but I'm not hungry - :disgust

Yeah, I eat about once a day too. I'm 6'3, I'm very active but I'm just not hungry. Can't force feed myself, it makes me sick. Guess I'll do something about it in the future. :thumbsup

Worst thing is A friend of mine is about 6' 140-150 and eats non-stop. He eats 5-6 times a day, (sandwich/fries/coke size meal). He is a garbage disposal. I can't spend more than an hour or so around him because he wants to eat every 2 hours!

that cant be healthy for you, especially if you're only meal of the day is wendys. you cant possibly be getting the vitimins and stuff that you need.

At least you're only ingesting crap once a day instead of three times a day.

fried foods (eg: fast food) slows your metabolism down to damn near nothing.
plus, sitting all day (workin online) will also slow it to hault very fast...hence, the reason why you're not hungry.

stop eating junk food, stop drinking soda all together, walk 1 mile a day (about 30 mins of a good paced walk), and drink as much water as you can AND TAKE A MULTIVITAMIN DAILY (get Centruium Metabolism)

guess it's time to make a few changes :thumbsup

Any of those metabolism boosters work without side effects???

No , if you eat enough for the rest of the day.

if you are eating only once a day it means you are on to something and you'll soon make alot of money.

The problem is, eating only once a daily, your probably not getting all the nutrients you're body needs. Which will eventually catch up to you and cause a lot of health problems. Are you taking multi-vitamins or other nutritional supplements on a daily basis?

As long as is not affecting u from making those $$$$$$$$$s ue fine :thumbsup

Is eating a pound of chocolate a day considered normal??

listen to babagirls you might seem fine now but slowly your body is probably getting sick you need those vitamins

That does not sound healthy at all.

you might have a thyroid problem. you can get it tested with a simple blood sample

Should eat atleast 3 meals a day.

i've been eating basically one meal a day for the last 25 years...although it seems that all the vitamins and supplements that my gf has me on are a meal all in themselves :1orglaugh

Right on the money

i can't live with that habit. i eat 3 times a day plus 2 snacks in between

well yes. there IS something wrong with you

I eat pretty much every 2 hours

i eat like an animal! and u should do the same even if ur not hungry lol

That´s very bad, because even you think you are fine, your stomach is doing the worst part.

Sorry, but you are wrong.

For every pound of muscle a man gains, he burns off 50 to 90 more calories an hour.

I think it's more habit than anything else that you eat once a day. I have trained myself to eat at least 5, with shakes and protein bars taking up the slack where a full meal won't do.

Smaller meals broken up across the day actually help you lose weight, you are always feeding the machine which in turn burns calories.

im the opposite

Only once a day? I hope you eat well when you eat !

listen to her she knows how to gain weight :1orglaugh

would be better to eat something more healthy than fast food if you are only eating once a day

Not weird - I ate only once yesterday, a plain bologni sandwhich at about 2am.
