mealless
Skipping all food
Mealless means without a meal or lacking meals.
The word appears occasionally in descriptions of fasting, poverty, or disrupted routines: a mealless day, mealless hours stretched into evening.
It's not common—most speakers would say "without eating" or "skipping meals" instead.
