    I grew up in childhood on one meal a day (or one meal every two days often as not) due to poverty, and I guess it set up a pattern - I very rarely eat three meals a day in adulthood. I used to always skip breakfast (nowadays I tend to just have a yoghurt with my coffee mostly because I tell myself it’ll be healthy, not because I’m hungry), and then I usually have lunch OR dinner, but very rarely both.

    Of course, when I was young I was horribly thin (6’3" and 110lbs when I left home at 18), now I eat considerably more, so that changed - but the meal habits didn’t.
