meal skipping

Intentional hunger gap

Meal skipping is the practice of intentionally or unintentionally going without one or more regular meals.

Some skip meals for weight loss or as part of intermittent fasting regimens; others simply forget or lack time: Between work and the kids, meal skipping has become my default.

The term often carries a slightly clinical or health-conscious tone.
