How do you typically break up your calorie allowance

Roughly: morning, 750. Evening, 700-1000, depending upon the day.

I didn't make a rule about it but this is how my meals usually work out.
Breakfast- 200-300
Lunch- 300-500
Dinner- 500-600
Snacks- 100-300
My goal is 1200 calories and I eat a portion of exercise calories.

My goal is 1500/day on a sedentary day:

Breakfast: 150-200
Snack: 100
Lunch: 500
Dinner: 600
Snack: 100-150

If I want a bigger dinner, I'll exercise and/or skip my evening snack.

All depends on the day but I tend to do this

Breakfast: 0
Lunch: 500 or less
Dinner: 500 or less
Snacks: 400 to spend from 12p-10p

I do break up meals mostly, but there are times I just do a boatload of calories in one meal, like a big breakfast, then eat whatever is left at the end of the day.

i eat 1200.
breakfast - under/around 200, usually over night oats
lunch and afternoon snack - usually around 300 - 400, usually a half sandwich and lots of raw veggies (i need variety/volume)
dinner - 400 to 500 - usually a 'regular' dinner meal as my boyfriend isn't dieting
snack - whatever's left!

I tend to be busy all day at work and not really think about being hungry unless I'm stuck in meetings all day and bored, and even then I'm stuck and can't do much about it. And then at home when I have more free time to think about it, I get ravenously hungry, so I usually save the bulk of my calories for dinner/evening snacks.

I have a 1600 daily budget, so it's usually like this:
Breakfast- 140 calorie granola bar
Lunch - 450 calorie sack lunch (sandwich, apple, grapes, cheese stick, etc.)
Dinner - ~800-850 for a usual dinner

The remaining 150-200 are used for small snacks if I'm still munchy after a few hours, or I "bank" them in case I get a little carried away during the weekend.

It makes it so I can have a bag of popcorn and an apple in the evening if I feel like it, and the couple of nights I don't feel like it means I can go a hundred or so calories over on Sat/Sun and not feel bad about it, because I know I'm still in my weekly deficit.

It's been working out well for me, I don't ever really feel deprived.

Mine is different everyday, it depends on what I'm eating and when I'm hungry.

As long as I have been an adult, I never had a routine of eating more than one meal a day. So now I tend to eat the majority of my allowance at dinner. I allow 300 calories for coffee and banana in the morning and 150ish for a late night snack. The rest is for supper.
