Don't get me wrong, I do mealprep, just forget or don't have time for lunch some days. Then I eat "junkfood" because I can't eat 2000 calories in one go, when I eat rice and lentils.

Not being able to eat 2000 calories in a sitting is a feature, not a flaw of healthy eating. Set a reminder to eat lunch, or just meal prep your snacks.

why would you ever eat 2000 calories in one go? Even if you're an extreme athlete that seems excessive.

To maintain/gain weight? Why else?

You shouldn't do it regularly, but I think its better than a 1000 calorie deficit.
