If I need 1500 calories a day to maintain my current weight, and I can manage to intake 1500 calories at breakfast, could I conceivably not have to eat the rest of the day?

Long story short, eating is a hassle for me! I wish I didn’t have to do it! If I could eat one time during the day the total amount of food I eat through out the day could I get away with eating once a day? I believe that the reason we get hungry at certain times (8 am, noon, 6 pm) is because that’s the schedule we’ve trained ourselves into. Assuming I could train myself out of that expectation….well. Let’s say that for breakfast I was able to eat, all at once, what I average through out the day: A sausage and cheese McMuffin (no judgments please!), a bagel with cream cheese, a grilled chicken sandwich (Wendy’s) a small fry, two burritos from home, and a thinger of yogurt. Could I train myself so that I wouldn’t get hungry again till the next morning? After adapting, what would my body think?

Anyone who starts throwing a wrench in the works about how different kinds of fat yadda yadda yadda. It’s 1500 period, no sugar, not too much fat. And no, I didn’t add up the calories so it may be low or high, but it’s just an average.

This is a totally hypothetical question.
