How do you distribute your calories?

My net goal is 1650. My average calorie intake over the past 30 days
Breakfast: 415
Lunch: 512
Dinner: 808
Snack: 549
Total: 2284
With this, I lost 1 lb per week.0 -
I split mine into 3 meals and 2 snacks- the snacks are usually about 200 each, breakfast is 200-250 and the rest is split between dinner and lunch0

A typical weekday looks like this:
Breakfast - 100 cals (breakfast bar)
Lunch - 500 cals
Dinner - 600 cals
Snacks/Desserts - 160 cals
All of my "bonus" calories from fitbit tracking and exercise go towards more snacks or towards a larger dinner if we are eating something I love.
On the weekends I usually have a larger breakfast, smaller lunch (sometimes no lunch) and a larger dinner. I usually get more exercise in on the weekends to accommodate my larger breakfast and dinner.0 -
Thanks for all of the great feedback. Going to start playing with how I spread mine out and see what works best for me. Definitely need breakfast, otherwise I am unpleasant by 9am (I start work at 5:30)0
