One small meal a day means that you're following the route of "fasting", which means you have to be accountable for the fact that your insulin levels are going to be entirely dependent on whatever your eating the second that first bit hits your body. If you want to try ONE meal a day, I would focus on the QUALITY of that meal, otherwise your signing yourself up for a risk of diabetes, ED or both. It should be at least 1200 calories of quality foods. It's not the easy way out, if you want to be safe. You're 20 years old. You can seriously screw up for metabolism for decades to come if you go about this unsafely.
Some people do extremely well on the "one great meal a day" but it needs to be GREAT. It needs to encompass protein, nutrients, essential vitamins and a lack of sugar, otherwise you WILL set yourself up for failure and end up in a BIG "yoyo" effect where you will gain weight or develop a disease.
As someone whos had ED and has bounced back and forth the same 60 lbs for a decade I HIGHLY recommend going the route of patience and plain old calorie deficit. TRUST ME, even if it takes two years to reach your ideal body, it's much better than turning 30 and having to learn that these desperate methods of weight loss just lead to a higher weight, the same bad habits and emotional exhaustion.
