If you’re looking for a serious answer, not at all. Snacking all day is the opposite of fasting. Just because it’s small doesn’t mean it’s not food.
If he actually didn’t eat all day and then had a huge meal at night, that would be it. That would also be called OMAD (one meal a day), which is a type of intermittent fasting.

Yes, you can actually “brainwash” yourself this way. Every time you remember something, you’re basically rewriting the memory into your brain. So every time you remember something, it becomes less reliable as it has more chances of being corrupted by new information.
So if you remember a childhood memory, then for some reason you add a detail that wasn’t there before, that’s the new memory.
Example: you remember going to the zoo as a kid, and you remember seeing a monkey. Then your mom shows you a photo album of your trip to the zoo, and in it, there’s a picture of you watching a lion.
Next time you remember that trip to the zoo, you’ll probably remember seeing a lion too, even though originally you didn’t at all.
Memory is incredibly unreliable.

But why undertake this elaborate millinery? One study published in 2016 investigated this question by holding trials involving the caterpillars and their natural predators — spiders and stink bugs. The researchers found that attacks on larvae with a stack of headcases took more than 10 times longer than attacks on larvae that had had their stack removed. They found that the empty head capsules acted as a false target for predators and could also be used to deflect the piercing rostrum of a predator.
