I'm on the same boat, except I had to drop both breakfast and dinner (2-course lunch, with fish and oranges in the evening) to maintain body weight without gaining fat!
I do this despite doing compound lifts (pull ups, dips, squats) while successfully gaining muscle strength.
Thanks for sharing. I like your idea and noticed that big lunches help me through the evening. Can I ask: What percentage of your weight are you losing per week? I'm doing diet and exercise at the same time and was reading some ideas on percentages to expect/aim for.
My plan so far has been to lose fat in moderate amounts. I found that aiming to maintain the body weight while doing resistance training easily achieves that.
So every week I gain equal amount (in weight) of muscle to the fat lost. The difference is also visually noticeable (increased upper body muscle tone; decreased belly and lower back fat).
