    I have pretty spread out meals. I usually eat 30-40% of my calories between 0700-1200 (breakfast/snack) and another 30-40% from 1200-1500 (Lunch). I rarely eat anything substantial after that for dinner, usually just some fruit/veggies and/or a protein shake.

    Dinner is usually my biggest meal, and about 1/2 of my intake comes in the evening.

    I currently eat around 2700 calories a day due to my workout schedule, etc., but I followed the same proportions throughout my weight loss.

    I have about 400-500 for breakfast, 500 or so for lunch, maybe 400 in snacks at work (generally a morning snack and an afternoon snack), a pre-workout snack of 100 - 200 calories, about 700-900 for dinner, with the rest as dessert and beverages (beer, chai, juice, egg nog (now that it is in season), etc.).

    I eat 5-6 times a day. Anywhere from 1800-3000 calories for dinner depending on the day.

    Usually breakfast or lunch, and skip dinner. I dunno how those IF people are able to skip breakfast but eat dinner. I'm famished in the morning, usually. Also, there's a good amount of research showing that skipping breakfast leads to higher cardiovascular disease risk factors (at least in middle-aged men, of which I am one) whereas skipping dinner leads to lower CVD rates.

    I usually eat the least for breakfast (200 calories +/-), then evenly for lunch and dinner, unless I go out to eat for one of those meals.
  • Lunch or dinner depending on my work schedule.

    I've just switched how I'm eating, going from IF and 2-3 big meals/no snacking, to 6 small 'meals' spread out through the day. Doing this in order to get in enough calories/hit my macros. The mid day meal is usually the highest (usually a large salad and a protein). The rest are smaller-a protein bar, cottage cheese and fruit, eggs etc.

    My green breakfast shake is always the biggest unless I have a cheat meal and dine out for dinner.

    All of my meals are usually between 200-300 calories but sometimes they're more. I eat 600-900 calories of meals and then the remaining 680-380 I use up on snacks. I like to have a couple snacks throughout the day and I'm a big fan of snacking at night!

    I save supper for more calories. I keep breakfast and lunch light since I sit on my rear in an office at work every day.

    Lunch is definitely my biggest meal of the day. I can consume anywhere from 500 to 700 calories for lunch. I do not do a lot of carbohydrates for dinner so my calories tend to be a little less at dinner time.

    If I eat too early in the day I feel starved throughout the day and usually over do it. I tend to wake up at about 2 PM daily, so I guess its just like a "late" breakfast (lol) but I eat almost all of my calories at dinner and have a few snacks after the fact.

    Randomly changes from day to day.
  • I actually usually eat the most calories in snacks. It works and it keeps me from bingeing.

    I think this is the answer to my problems here !
