I work from home, IT, 8-10 hours sitting, programming. If I ate five meals a day I'd weight a ton in few months.

Fasting helps me keeping the callory intake down. First meal at 3-6pm then some snack in the evening, keeping sugar intake low. If I eat in the morning I feel bloated and sluggish + at around 2pm I feel tired.

Not eating keeps me fresh.

5 meals is also excessive. I have the same schedule and I eat the normal 3 meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner. I can't really miss any because then my tummy becomes very distracting. I really don't understand how you can go till 3pm without feeling any adverse effects. If I skip breakfast I'll be useless and dizzy till lunch.

I just don't eat more than I need each meal.

It's because they keep their sugar intake low. Most of the hunger urges are carbohydrate addiction manifesting

Depends on what is meant by a meal. You could simply eat smaller meals to get less calory intake.

I also fast through the day and if I eat even something small I get mentally and physically sluggish. Could easily fall asleep.
