by eating less your body will go into starvation mode, your metabolism will slow down - so when you start eating normally again, your slowed metabolism wont be able to cope and you'll put on weight.
BUT it also decreases your stomach size, meaning that when you do go back to eating normally, your stomach expects less food, and you end up eating smaller portions. it worked with me
Breakfast: one or two slices of toast with peanut butter. An apple.
Lunch: varies. Generally something like a cheese toastie, or pitta bread and houmous. Maybe sometimes some pasta with pesto and peppers if I'm training that day (although not too often)
Dinner: also varies. Things like stir fries, curry, chicken kiev, pizza, pasta dishes. But always a cooked meal!
Snacks: cake, chocolate, sometimes crisps... And satsumas and grapes!
I'm 5ft 8 and weigh 54kg
EDIT: I generally drink water, apple juice or squash. I don't drink anywhere near enough though :/ I don't drink much alcohol, don't drink tea but will have the occasional mocha

Yeah if she CHANGES her eating pattern, eating how she does at the moment won't make her gain weight
That's what I thought was meant by "long-term" - unless she wants to spend the rest of her life on one meal a day, if that suits her then that's cool but I know I wouldn't fancy it! Nomnomnom, three meals for me please!!

Trust me, I am a recovering anorexic who is living the consequences of this kind of lifestyle, and longer term, your body stores fat like there's no tomorrow when you return to normality.
I'm talking kilos a week.
Today's, which is fairly representtive of my general diet:
Breakfast: Cup of tea, fruit salad.
Lunch: Roast vegetable & feta frittata with salad and coleslaw.
Dinner: Colcannon (mashed potato and cabbage), carrots, and chicken & leeks in white sauce.
Dessert: A small piece of mincemeat strudel with caramel cream.
Snacks: One cherry florentine (gift from my boss), one packet fizzy watermelon sweets (willpower fail)

One of the most normal diets I've seen in this thread. Balance of fruit/veg/protein etc.
Breakfast: cereal
Lunch: wholemeal pitta bread with tuna and sweetcorn and some sort of fruit
Dinner: whatever gets made for me and maybe a yoghurt
Snacks: only fruit, sometimes chocolate and I have a bad weakness for softmints! I try to avoid them though :P
5'11 and 165lbs
trying to lose weight though.

I have no idea how people can skip breakfast and lunch? Crazy stuff. I literally cannot function without breakfast.
Breakfast: Depends on my mood, sometimes cereal, sometimes a ham sandwich and always an apple. Used to have porridge all the time
Lunch: When i'm at school I normally just have whatever the main meal is
Dinner: Always changes but may favourite is beetroot soup, that is basically heaven in a bowl.
Also, about the not eating to loose weight, okay, it may help you to loose weight, but is that really healthy in the long run? I just don't get it.

On a structured day (ie when I have lectures):
Breakfast:
-Porridge or cereal (with soya milk)
and sometimes two slices of toasted fruit loaf and soya spread
-Latte
Lunch:
-Jacket potato and cheese/chilli
with salad and seeds/nuts
Tea:
-Brown rice, peppers, onions, seeds, seasoning and chickpeas/tofu/quorn pieces
(It turns out a bit like the rice in an Indian biryani)
I don't often snack. I tend to have a lot of green tea, fruit juice, sometimes small fruit like grapes and strawberries. Now and then I'll get carrots and humous. My tea obviously changes a lot, I tend to have fajitas/curry/chilli/stew/soup. A had a celebratory post-exam large dominoes pizza the other day, nom.
And if you hadn't guessed I'm veggie (no milk/eggs unless they're in something... like a cake).
I'm about 5'5-6(?) and I'm about 8.5 stone (although I haven't weighed myself in about four years). I'm size 8-10 and the past year I've been exercising once or more a week by boxing. I've been slacking lately but my weight/size never changes.

Breakfast - if I don't have lectures I often skip and have a big lunch. If I do, then cereal (maple pecan crunch at the moment) or toast. Maybe a bacon sandwich for a treat. Before big occasions like exams I have to have eggs though.
Lunch - usually cheese on toast, soup, a toastie, crumpets, mini pizza... anything I have in really. Today it'll be last night's leftover pasta bake.
Tea - curry, chilli, various incarnations of pasta, occasionally frozen pizza/chicken etc with wedges, sweet and sour, jacket potato, sausage and mash, lemon chicken etc etc. Most of this I cook from scratch, cheating occasionally with a jar of sauce.
Interspersed with countless cups of tea, water, fruit, toast, the odd bit of chocolate/crisps.
Not the healthiest diet, but not the unhealthiest either.
Height: 5'3" ish
Weight: 120lbs ish

I eat breakfast and dinner, usually porridge/cereal w a banana at 1/2pm, a couple of vegetable based snacks in the afternoon then something carby (rice usually) with meat and salad in the eve followed by fruit and yoghurt.
I do IF (intermittent fasting, eat 8 hours/fast 16 hours) works best for me especially if I want to start weight training in the summer to finally get fit again. I'm like 5'8 and about 130lb
Today I've eaten my 'dinner' as lunch tho so will have something breakfasty this evening, tis weird. People have been spreading so many ridiculous myths about metabolism the past few years like the supposed benefits of eating 6 small meals a day or the necessity to have something for breakfast when you wake up - you really don't have to. It doesn't make a difference and there's no such thing as a starvation mode that will start to conserve fat, you'll still burn it off.

Crisps and chocolate. Cheese toasties.

If I get the chance to have a break, I'll have a mid morning cereal bar.
Then at Lunch I'll have stir fry
Some protein and veggies for dinner
And snack on things such as chocolate, iced gems, crackerbreads, cottage cheese etc as and when my belly demands

YES. Thank you. It frustrates me that there's so much misinformation about metabolism. It is true that your metabolism slows when you don't eat enough to preserve energy, but it does that whenever you have a calorie deficit. It goes back to normal as soon as you eat a normal amount. It's not that complicated.
Equally, the type of food you eat doesn't make a difference to weight per se. It makes a difference to hunger but that's an indirect effect on weight, not a direct one, and obviously it affects health. I for example, have a very low appetite because of medication and general stress, so I tend to eat food that's very high calorie and liquid so that I can eat more of it. It doesn't make me gain weight because I don't eat enough of it to gain weight, though I'm trying.
Today I've eaten: a large chocolate milkshake, a coke, a carton of Innocent smoothie, a load of crackers with some brie someone gave me and an energy drink. I'm totally killing my insides but it's the only way I can maintain my weight without spending a fortune on avocados and nuts. Peanut butter and milk are really the only decent things I can eat without losing weight.

It's really interesting to see what other people eat.
I also have a really set 'menu' for what I eat each week. I like a routine, and a pattern so my diet doesn't vary much from this:
Breakfast: Two weetabix with milk, or porridge. And always a lovely cup of tea to get me ready for the day!
Snack: An apple to keep my going till lunch!
Lunch (at work): Homemade tuna mayo/ham/beef/pepporni/chorizo sandwich with lettuce to give it a nice crunch! Then some crisps, apple, low fat yogurt and a can of diet coke.
Lunch (at weekend): Pitta bread stuffed with lettuce, cheese, meat or grilled cheese sandwich or omlette. Then always an apple/bannana and a lovely pot of tea.
Dinner, which always starts off with a pot of tea! (this is where I get really teased by my housemate for my pattern):
Monday: Ready meal
Tuesday: Pasta with sauce
Wedesday: Breakfast for dinner (pancakes, beans on toast with some form of eggs, etc)
Thursday: Chicken and rice
Friday: Either a veggie stirfry or half a pizza.
Saturday: Left overs from veggie stir fry or other half of pizza.
Sunday: Something fancy, like a steak, chilli, fishcakes, etc.
I don't really eat a lot of chocolate, and if I do snack it's an apples, dried fruit, somtimes biscuits...
Oh, and I'm about 5'5, and weigh aprox 10 1/2 stone, which is about a size 10/12 on top, and a size 12/14 on bottom. My BMI is 24.5.
