It would be better to have 4-6 smaller meals (that all included protein) than only 2 meals a day. Eating shouldn't leave you full, just pleasantly satisfied. Your calories should be 10 - 12 times your current weight, so you can supplement by eating fat.

Karen's right, Stephie. Eating more frequent smaller meals will keep your blood sugar stable and your metabolism boosted. It is important to feed your body a constant supply of protein as it needs this all day long to perform basic metabolic functions - if you do not it will scavange for the amino acids it needs - and the greatest source of these are found in your muscles. Muscle loss is not something you want to deal with - you'll end up weighing less but actually having a higher body fat percentage.
