I've been having 1 meal a day for several years now (since well before the pandemic), and my weight has stayed pretty much constant throughout.
The tricky part for me wasn't getting enough calories, but ensuring I'm getting a good amount and a good variety of nutrients.
I try to eat healthy meals most of the time, but even a handful of "cheat" meals per week to indulge my cravings for tasty, non-healthy food can seriously throw off my overall nutrition profile for the week, since I only get 7 of them.
I've been trying to balance for that by drinking a bottle of Soylent after every unhealthy meal, basically as a nutritional supplement.
