I usually only eat 1-2 meals a day, usually only 1. Once your body gets used to it, it's pretty easy. I usually hit the gym in the early afternoon, then go for a bike ride after (not always) and still have my only meal after I get home around 6 or 7ish.

Your biggest issue I'm sure Dark is that you probably snack at work. Don't do that. If the guys bring in donuts, pizza, and other bullshit, don't touch it. If you're working a sedentary job, there's no reason for you to be stuffing your face snacking on crap while sitting behind a computer. That's the kryptonite for weight gain in your 30's/40's, the snacking adds up and it's hard to rationalize, especially worse if you don't have a robust fitness routine.

I like to eat my junk food and bullshit sometimes too, and that's fine, but if I do, it's the only thing I eat all day.

You don't want to be popping Metformin and worrying about having to jump on cholesterol drugs and eventually stents at only 40-something.
