I appreciate your challenge. I was one who also put on weight from inadvertently slowing my metabolism by not eating (but then, unlike you, I would overeat later).
My suggestion is, first reframe how you think of "overeating."
Old way: not overeating means eating one meal a day.
New way: not overeating means "eating just right" for a healthy metabolism. Not more, not less. (PS a healthy metabolism can burn stored fat instead of having it hang around forever)
Nowadays I would try 2 meals first, then move to 3 meals or whatever. That will give your body time to get used to it and help reframe your feeling about more meals, to go from "overeating" to "eating just right" like Goldilocks.
I would pick a starting plan of ounces of protein, grams of fat, grams of carbs and see how it goes by logging = what did I eat, and how did I feel afterward. I didn't have to log very log before I started to see patterns.
