One meal per day is pretty tricky; you probably don't want to drop from three or more to one directly. Maybe start with two per day, say around 09:00 and another 16:00 or so, and keep at that for a week before going to one. Another good idea is lots of fibre—sugar wafers or whatever are not going to tide you over the hours like a good bowl of brown rice and lentils or beans and brown rice or brown rice with tofu. Variety! A lot of modern food is somewhat lacking in fiber, though, or if there is fiber it comes with, like, 7000% of the daily salt requirement. 7000% salt was probably okay if you were working in a foundry and sweated out that much, but maybe not for keypushers.
Check with your doctor before doing this, etc. Probably easier without contradictory professional or social obligations, etc.
On the plus side, there are fewer dishes to wash. On the downside, it can be hard to get everything you need in that one meal. Not sure whether I'm going to stick with one meal per day, or if two would be better. Teeth health may also be different if you eat less often. But you'd need to try out different eating schedules to see how they suit your body, and the methods would doubtless need to vary over time.
