The word μονοσιτῶν, eating once a day, occurs too in Alexis

When you meet with a man who takes only one meal,
Or a poet who music pretends not to feel;
The man half his life, the bard half his art, loses;
And sound reason to call either living refuses.
And Plato says,
he not only was not content with one meal a-day, but sometimes he even dined twice the same day.

We know that men used to call sweetmeats νωγαλεύματα. Araros says in the Campylion

These νωγαλεύματα are very nice.
And Alexis says
In Thasian feasts his friends he meets,
And νωγαλίζει, sweetmeats eats.
And Antiphanes, in the Busiris, says
Grapes, and pomegranates, and palms,
And other νώγαλα.

Philonides used the word ἀπόσιτος for fasting; and Crobylus has the word αὐτόσιτος, writing παράσιτον, αὐτόσιτον.

Eupolis, too, used ἀναρίστητος for without breakfast Crates has the word ἀναγκόσιτος, eating by force, and Nicostratus uses ἀναγκοσιτέω.

There is a youth most delicately curl'd,
Whom I do feed by force beneath the earth.
And Alexis has the word ἀριστόδειπνον, breakfast-dinner
By whom the breakfast-dinner is prepared.
