Should I eat all of my calories at once or get off the ABC diet until i leave home?

well I told my mom that I'm going to make my own meals so I know my calorie intake, she was cool with it except for the fact that I would eat on my own time. she said that I would eat my meals with everyone else. so i was wondering is it best for me to eat all of my calories at once just wait until I get back to boarding school?

that's what i have to do. at dinner times, i eat what everyone else is eating just a smaller sized meal so my family just thinks i'm eating less. it works out pretty well for me, since it's just one meal.

yeah I'm doing that now, like I had to purge my breakfast yesterdsay (which worked out really well becuase I never could get that much up before), and then I ate just a little dinner yesterday. the only problem is since I'm on the ABC diet I have to watch my calories and I don't know how many calories everything has and that freaks me out which makes me sit around feeling disgusting. does your family let you cook your own meals and then eat with them or what?

i've never tried cooking my own meals around them, really. so i don't know exactly how they'd react. i usually just save all of my calories for the day until they're eating dinner & i'll just eat a little bit of what they're having & say i already ate or i'm not hungry or something.

i found out a way good trick though. so, i was doing that whole "i already ate" thing all the time & my mom's like, "i've been watching you all day & you haven't eaten a thing." so i start leaving around dirty dishes. like i'll put some food or crumbs on a plate & fork & leave it on the table so i looks like i finished it & just left the messy dishes out.

she gets mad at me & tells me to start cleaning up after myself, but she thinks i'm eating! hahah

I think I'm going to do that. especially on days they are eating late and its a fast day for me. I'll be like "I already ate, I mean I can't wait for you guys to get home for me to eat, or eat junk food when you guys eventually get home. I would be starving myself." then my mom will be like "oh ok, just clean up for once." good idea thanks.
