    Well, technically, you don't. If you eat enough calories in a single sitting, you only need one meal a day.

    It's possible, but the spikes and drops in metabolic rates doesn't work for everybody. If you're fit and healthy you can probably handle it, but many people need more steady metabolism throughout the day.

    Also, your body can only absorb so many nutrients at once. If you try packing all your daily requirements into one meal, you're going to shit a lot of it out. You might absorb all 2000 calories or whatever, but most of the vitamins, proteins, etc. are going to get flushed down your toilet

    You must have a sedentary lifestyle because that would not be enough if you did manual labor every day

    I worked construction around 18-19. I was a skinny kid, like 130lbs. After working all day the boss would order in food. I once ate an entire large pizza and drank a 2 liter bottle of coke.

    Now that I work from home its a lot less LOL

    TBF, at eighteen years old one can eat three large pizzas in a row and not make a dent in their weight. When I came home after a school day, I'd discover a full pan of fried potatoes and chow down half of it right at the stove.
