Will I lose weight eating 1 meal/day? (i exercise too)?

[Jett]

So, my maintenance is about 2,000 calories/day. I eat about 2,000 calories/day. But, I also walk 6 miles/day 5 days/week. That is 30 miles/week. I burn about 1,000 calories every walk so thats 5,000 calories a week burned. So, I have a 5,000 calorie deficit every week.

I do not eat breakfast or lunch and eat all my calories right after the walk. 2,000 calories is a lot for just one meal, but it isn't as difficult to do as it may sound.

I figure I should lose about 1-2 lbs per week since a pound of fat is 3,500 calories and i have a 5,000 calorie deficit every week.

Will I lose weight this way? If you look strictly at the calories consumed vs. calories burned i should, right?

o stop eating a meal is telling your body to conserve more food, so in other words, no. You will loose weight though, because of the exercise! Instead of less food, eat healthier!
