Hmm ... I note the references (again) to 'wolves' etc in the texts but domestic dogs are NOT wolves having evolved into what they are over many, many years, there is a difference between your dog deciding it doesn't want to eat one day, which ours do occasionally, and being purposely deprived of food when they DO want it - I'm talking about your normal run of the mill domestic dog, not working dogs which do often need a different regime.
In the past we did feed our dogs once a day, at tea-time with maybe a few biscuits during the day, but from our experience feeding them 2 meals a day, rather than a really big meal and nibbles, has improved their health and contentment - indeed since we started doing this a good few years ago our little Lily's coat has improved no end and they don't get the rumble tummies they used to.
