Is there a general rule as when to eat??

I know you're supposed to start off with breakfast, but sometimes I'm not real hungry. If you delay your meals a bit, till midmorning say, & save calories for the end of day when I really want to snack, is it wrong. I watch my calories, work with only healthy foods, & even my snacks stay healthy. I have lost 26 lbs, but was just curious about meal/snack times. If I'm hungry in morning, I don't try to delay anything, I just eat & don't snack at night. Are there any health benefits or problems that could arise from inconsistent meal/snack times. I'm pretty good about water also getting all or 75% of water requirements.

no I don't think theres anything wrong with inconsistent meal times... as long as you're eating often enough that you have the energy to get through the day and be productive... you're good

Eat when you want to eat. Meal timing doesn't matter. Eating in a deficit does.

The only time you shouldn't eat is when you're asleep (or in the hours before bedtime if you end up with health concerns that keep you up). Many people don't eat breakfast and lose weight fine. I don't eat right when I get up most of the time...usually 2-5 hours later depending on my schedule for the day.

I do the same. I like to save up calories for a larger evening meal and snack and it's never been a problem with my weight loss. It's about cico, not what time you consume them

Intermittent Fasting might work for you, if you're not hungry in the morning.
