To my surprise, I have been able to lose weight more rapidly by eating essentially once per day (I have about 50 lbs to lose) despite eating more calories than normal.  I also sleep better and function better mentally.  

The change occurred when I realized about a month ago that I was eating according to the clock albeit small meals rather than according to hunger signals.  Once I decided to eat only when hungry I naturally started eating only once per day.  That said...I do eat more frequently if I am hungry.

My eating patterns may change as I continue to lose weight.

One midday meal per day may be good a good thing from the point of view of
growth hormone release, especially during the night.  However, one also may
want to consider the very large insulin hit that comes with high calorie
meals (even with adequate amounts of fat).  On balance, it may be healthier
to eat two (or even three) smaller, (lower calorie) meals during the day
with no consumption in the hours before sleep.  This also provides a more
even supply of nutrients.  Occasional changes in this routine can be
included to generate some randomness
