Very wrong. Foregoing constant nutrient intake will instigate amino acid catabolism, which causes the degradation of muscle mass and the excess storage of adipose tissue the next time that food is eaten. This is a natural defense mechanism, since fat has a much higher biological priority.

Eat five to six meals a day. The fallacy in the post above me is assuming a level of unfeasibility - that the pertaining number of calories is somehow reserved for a certain echelon of dedication.

In other words, you're not eating any more than you normally would. You're simply splitting up your regular meals into smaller, but more frequent, portions.

And "veggies and fruits" is not a complete meal. You should have protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins in each.
