Jains who follow this practice are limiting the amount of food they eat, or sometimes, they are fasting. Many Jains practice austerities because they believe they should not be attached to the material world, and that includes becoming too comfortable or too reliant on food. Jains are vegetarians who believe in Ahimsa (non-injury of any living creature), and they also believe they should avoid eating too much or eating too often. This practice follows the teachings of Mahavira, who was the founder of Jainism.

Also Monks and Nuns work to satisfy themselves with only minimal things, food included. Lastly eating at night makes the mind sluggish for meditation.
