It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once observed several fasts continuously with only one pre-dawn meal (suhoor). When people found out, they did the same. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, he forbade the people and said, "In this matter, I am not like you. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord Himself feeds and gives me drink."
