Is skipping meals bad? Like let’s assume the worst case: someone ate like shit all 3 meals a day. Instant ramen, spam, potato chips, ice cream, whatever. And then they skip a meal and on their next one they are 1.5 meals worth of food. Is that worse?

Yes. Skipping meals can condition your body to store away more of it because it isn't sure when the next meal will come, eventually making you fatter even if you eat very little.
