HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

No, it is not enough for most persons. Most persons require at least 3 main meals.

The irregular or infrequent eating would definitely contribute to reflux symptoms/acidity.
Irregular eating can also sometimes affect weight in the long term because it causes the metabolism to slow down and weight to be retained.

I hope this helps
