I prefer to consume more cals at breakfast but it just doesn't happen like that sometimes, when do you consume the most calories throughout the day?

    It all depends honestly. I just try to make sure if i eat a larger dinner, it'll be early in the evening and not late. But most of the time its breakfast i think.

    For the most part its a toss up between breakfast and dinner, It all depends on what my gym time looks like for that night. On run days its a big breakfast, on weight lifting days its a big dinner.

    Dinner. Nearly always late in the evening, but sometimes late afternoon to early evening on the weekends if we cook outside.

    Dinner - that's when I have time to cook.

    Breakfast tends to be cereal bar(s) and/ or protein shake (depending on what I've done at the gym), lunch is salad, cold meat or bean salad and a low fat yoghurt, dinner will be loads of veg and a chicken breast (or something similar).

    I'd love to say Breakfast, but it tends to be dinner on the weekdays :(

    Defintely lunch, but somedays my snacks can be as large as my meals. Depends on what I eat. I eat 70% of my calories between noon and 5:00PM

    Usually dinner time. I dont get a lot of time to eat during work hours/days so I eat the most when I am at home.

    Dinner, I don't eat much during the day (being busy and all that) so by the time it comes to tea time, I'm starving! :)

    Dinner.

    I don't usually have breakfast, except coffee. Small lunch. Large dinner + dessert.

    I know it's better to eat the most at breakfast and the least at dinner, but I just cannot help it - I LOVE dinner and that's when I have my most free time, so I notice that I'm hungry more.

    I usually have a pretty light breakfast - 200 - 300 calories. I split the rest, usually pretty evenly between lunch and dinner with a coupe of 150 - 200 calories snacks thrown in there. I'm usually just not hungary in the early morning.

    I usually have about half my daily calories for dinner. Then a glass of chocolate milk at bedtime.

    I also tend to eat the most at dinner time, and afterwards. I think it's the "after 50" hormones that do it to me, and most of my friends. I feel a little panicky if I'm under 1200 calories at 3pm. I don't believe there's any correlation with weight gain and eating after dinner, as long as you burn enough calories.
