at least according to this video:

my summary:
not eating for long periods (ie: a day or days) > 3 meals of 500 calories a day.
less hunger, better physical and mental efficiency
The reason: Ketosis
if there's no response to the hunger feeling (ie: eat food), the body will switch to burning fat for fuel.
if the body gets food in regular intervals, it will never switch over.
but if you calorie restrict, once the body runs of out food, you will feel hungry.
do this for a while (ie: on a 'diet'), your metabolism slows down.
metabolism does not slow down for fasting.
after that initial hunger phase, ketosis will kick in and the body will have a constant supply of fuel.
