While on vacation in Spain and Italy, wife and I skipped a meal a day (usually breakfast, as that is not something they do over there) and a light meal either lunch or dinner. We did it to save some money for other things; but, guess what, it wasn’t so hard going from three to two meals a day.
OK, in a SHTF scenario, it may be more difficult because of stress and the need for more carbs to do things. However, with planning, it can be done.

That reminds me of an article I read which was basically about people who had starved to death in the wilderness. They just could not get sufficient nutrition, esp. in Alaska in the dead of winter.
I was surprised at how many calories they said you’d need in that kind of “roughing it” situation. I think for a man they said 3500 calories a day, I think normally it’s about 2500.
