In the Sammaññaphala Sutta the Buddha talkes about contentment with the simplest food and shelter and delighting in solitude...

'You should know, your majesty, that that man of yours — your slave, your workman... always watching for the look on your face... has gone forth from the household life into homelessness... content with the simplest food and shelter, delighting in solitude.' as the first visible fruit of contemplative life...

Later on, in the "Lesser Seccion of Virtue" the Buddha tells:

"He eats only once a day, refraining from the evening meal and from food at the wrong time of day.
