    Since I follow intermittent fasting routine; it's breakfast at 4 PM after my workout, about 1000~1200 calories.

    It depends on the day and the meal - sometimes my biggest meal can have the fewest calories.

    Dinner is my biggest meal. I am never hungry during the day so I usually skip breakfast and lunch and eat a huge dinner and a snack before bed.

    During the week it's my post workout meal which is normally dinner, I get about 1200 cal. On weekends for some reason it will be my pre workout meal (breakfast), moslty since I do cardio after lifting during the weekend

    Dinner, which is first meal of the day for me, after working out. It's about 1.5 - 2k calories. Then couple of hours later another meal of around 1.5k calories. I usually have just tow meals in a day cos I do intermittent fasting.

    Usually dinner, but whatever I have for evening dessert can be a close second. You don't have to spread calories out evenly throughout the day to lose weight.

    Dinner for me. They do say you should eat breakfast like a king/queen though. I won't do that though as I don't want to use all my calories up on breakfast when I've still got the rest of the day.

    Typically dinner. But sometimes dessert has more calories than dinner.

    My lunch and dinner are usually fairly similar, but I seem to have about 100 more cal at dinner.

    Either lunch or dinner, but the latter most of the time.

    I just started intermittent fasting so lunch is definitely by biggest meal of the day. It used to be breakfast.

    If I know I am having lunch out, then that will usually be my most calories. Otherwise, its dinner, because that is when I am the hungriest, the least busy, and seem to want to eat the most.

    I try to get most of my calories in during the day - snacks or lunch. However from old habits, most often than not Dinner ends up being my largest meal.

    I try to make breakfast my biggest meal and then taper off. I have been focusing on eatting breakfast like a queen, lunch like a princess and dinner like a poor person. It helps to keep my energy up during the day and I sleep better at night.

    Dinner.

    I eat a small breakfast, a morning snack, a moderate lunch, and then I eat a large dinner since I'm hungry as there's no time for afternoon snacking.

    I actually usually eat the most calories in snacks. It works and it keeps me from bingeing.

    I try to make breakfast the most calorific meal, but often it's dinner purely because I'm so hungry.

    Dinner and evening in general. I take in most of my calories after 5 PM. My breakfast is usually around 400 - 500 calories or so...lunch is usually 500 - 600...I usually have an afternoon snack and/or pre/post workout snack that is usually around 500 calories and from then on I just eat to total around 2700 - 2800 calories per day.

    I also like beer...a lot.

    I eat 5 meals a day. That works best for me. Biggest at Bfast with about 5-600 calories. then tapering off to the last meal about 300 calories. Then my Eatback is separate from the meals usually around 100-200 calories. Like I said this works best for me because I'm not so hungry in the evening after starting out with such a big meal
