stop doing that, eat low fat yogurt for breakfast with a little granola on it, take a vitamin rich power bar for lunch or snacks, eat a green salad for lunch, then maybe a piece of fruit in the afternoon, and a good dinner of green veggies, yellow veggies, tomato, some low fat cottage cheese, and baked or broiled fish, you will still lose some weight without being stuck in the starve position, though it may take exercise to turn on the metobolic furnace again.

Eat 100 to 150 calories within one hour of waking. (I am not a breakfast person so this was hard to learn, but it starts your metabolism.) Then eat 100-150 calories every 2 hours up til dinner time. If you are just maintaining your weight, stay at 2,000 calories or so, but make sure you get a good variety of foods. Fresh veggies, fruits, grains, etc. If you eat carbs, eat them early in the day. Try to combine protein with some good carbs at your other snacks to keep your energy going. Stay hydrated with water and teas, etc. Good luck.
PS: You may feel sluggish the first day or so, but stick with it... your body will catch on eventually.

You can't get your body out of starvation mode if you keep starving it. Eat, and think about how you'll look at 21 with a hump on your back when you get osteoporosis from utilizing your own bone mass to support your necessary functions (like a heartbeat).

You should eat more than once a day. If you're worried about your weight, eat lots of smaller, healthier meals during the day. Also drink a lot of water.

Several small meals are better for you than one meal.
I have an example for you. This summer I worked hard, took green tea pills and ate several small meals, making sure to not skip breakfast. I lost 13 pounds. My co-worker did the same thing but limited her meals to one meal a day. She gained 5 pounds.

Start adding a little snack here and there slowly until you are built up to about 6 small meals a day.

Obviously eat more. Do it in small steps start by adding snacks and things like that. You probably need to see a nutritionist or doctor about this though before doing it.

It's unhealthy to eat one meal a day. Spread it out and have five small meals a day.
