    It varies for me - if I'm at home and not having to work that day, I often don't feel hungry til after midday. I'll have a coffee, then lunch, a snack, then dinner.
    When I work I kick off at 6am, I'll usually wolf down some Greek yoghurt with protein powder and some coconut oil mixed in before work, and that keeps me going until 2pm when I get a chance to have lunch, I'll have a snack in the afternoon, and then dinner.
    All in all the calories don't vary much - hovering between 1200-1500cal per day.

    It varies for me. Most days are a coffee with hwc in the morning then nothing until a late lunch around 2, and then dinner around 7pm. Some days are just snacking days (pepperoni with mayo, salami, cheese, pork skins...) where I don't fix a meal until dinner. Hubby likes three meals a day, so, when he is home from work I do that since he doesn't understand how anyone would voluntarily skip a meal (he's not overweight, just very sensitive to having low blood sugar, though isn't a diabetic). It gets so much easier once you've learned this woe!

    Hello, I eat 3 meals a day, and a couple snacks throughout the day. My day starts early, my first break at lunch is usually around 9:30, lunch around 1pm, then a late dinner around 7:30,and a snack. If I'm off work I tend to snack more, but I let my appetite be my guide. If I'm not hungry I'll skip a meal....but only if I'm not hungry.
