I mean I fast intentionally so this just sounds like a skill issue to me.
I truly don't believe our bodies were meant to consume a full 3 meals per day unless you're doing something crazy like bodybuilding or hard labor that actually burns the number of calories you consume by doing that. Honestly as a desk jockey I get by on just a good dinner, but I'm the type that has to eat to satisfaction at mealtimes which makes it hard to stick to portions.
What im trying to say is it's perfectly fine to just eat when you're hungry, even if it doesn't fall as frequently as a 3-meal/day schedule. It's also okay to be hungry for a bit, if the ideal food for a healthy meal isn't immediately accessible to you. You're not going to starve to death. You'll just start burning fat for energy (or muscle/brain tissue if there is no fat left, so of course be careful). As long as you're getting the amount of nutrition that is necessary to keep your body going, and you're not already underweight, you'll probably be okay.
Breakfast especially in my mind is a scam pushed by the grain industry to sell you cereals, oats, breads and pancakes. I just get hungrier throughout the day whenever I break my fast that early, and I gain weight if I do it with any amount of consistency.
edit: also drink water!!! It can really help push off your hunger for a bit so you have time to think about what you're putting in your body.
