Two points here, that, two small meals a day is the furthest thing from a healthy diet you can get... Except maybe the polar opposite of 12 Big Macs a day. Most people eat 2-3 meals a day. Ideally, you want to eat however many calories your body needs in 5-6 smaller meals over the day. This tends to keep you from becoming too hungry at any one meal and overeating. Also, long periods between meals tend to cause your metabolism to slow down, reducing the calories your body consumes to maintain itself. The Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) is another way your body burns calories, and the more you eat the more calories you burn. That's why splitting what you already eat up into multiple meals promotes weight loss.

Starving is a bad way to lose weight. This isn't an after-school program about the dangers of eating disorders, it's just a fact. Eating too little can be as bad as eating too much. Because:

-Your metabolism slows down. Your body will burn fewer calories to maintain itself, primarily drawing first from the glycogen stores, and you will feel awful. This is horrible for weight loss because as soon as you quit starving yourself, you'll gain weight fast because your metabolism has bottomed out.
-You will lose muscle more than fat. Your body will naturally try to conserve fat and cannibalize muscle if it thinks it is outright starving. This is bad because your real goal is FAT loss, not weight loss. This is how you have people who lose 100 pounds and reach their "ideal" weight, but still look like poo with their shirt off. Also, losing muscle slows your metabolism down even further, amplifying the giant horrible rebound effect once you quit starving yourself.
-Your life will be a living hell. You'll eventually feel horrible, the diet will fail, and you'll binge eat and regain everything you lost, plus interest. Food is fuel, and that fuel is what powers the brain.

Also, there is a great deal of data that suggests you will have much more success with weight loss by lifting as opposed to cardio alone. Lifting burns tons of calories, increases EPOC (Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption, how many calories you burn in the hours/days after exercise) and lifting weights while dieting will cause you to retain more muscle and lose more fat than just diet and/or cardio. Because the name of the game when it comes to not looking awful is FAT LOSS, not weight loss

Three words about cardio: only intensity matters. If your goal is fat loss (as opposed to general cardiovascular health), 3 hours running slowly on a treadmill will not help you as much as 20 minutes of high intensity interval training doing sprints on a track.

If you're working out at the gym use the help of the staff there, tell them your aims and let them give you advice. That is what they are there for.
