    I would say I spread my calories out about the same. As for my workout, it usually varies, lol! I'm just usually happy that I actually get it done!

    On average:
    1.- 250-280 on breakfast, 400-500 on lunch, 230-250 on my tea time and 350-400 on dinner, rest on snacks.

    2.- As I'm on vacations, I exercise just before noon, when I go to university, I exercise in the evenings ;)

    Breakfast weekdays usually about 450 calories, exercise in morning burns about 250
    Breakfast weekends usually about 700 calories, exercise in morning burns about 400

    Lunch 300-500 calories

    Dinner 400-600 calories depending on whether I've exercised again at night, and how much I snacked

    Snacks 200-400 calories over the day, again depending on how much I know I'm burning off along the way

    I try to make it all fit during non exercise days :)

    Interesting topic :)

    I'm all over the place with my calories, sometimes i eat a massive brekky and a small lunch (usually when im working) but sometimes dinner is my biggest meal...

    As for exercising i usually try and do it in the morning otherwise if i can't get up early enough or have work i have to wait till i get home so afternoon around 6-ish.
