    I don't have set times persay but I do listen to my body more than I use to. I try to get up around 8 or 8:30 and eat a medium to small breakfast depending on how I feel. I go workout about an hour or so after eating. Typically when I come back my stomach is growling again so I try and eat something to hold me over until lunch. Lunch is around 11 or 12. Snack time is around 3:30 or 4, once again, depending on how I feel that day. I typically start dinner around 4:30 or 5, sometimes a little later. I've been told eating before 9pm is better if possible I guess it's so your body has time to use up the calories eaten before going to sleep. It all just depends on your schedule for the day. For me, as weird as it might sound, waking up at a consist time EVERY day (including weekends) really sets my eating habits in motion.

    I have breakfast at 8:00 a.m., lunch between 12:00 & 1:00 p.m., and I have dinner before 7:00 p.m. No food after 7:00 p.m.
    (I eat at about those times too!)

    Good for you getting on the part to recovery. I know it must be a constant struggle and I applaud you for working to become healthy. Remember when you go back to school that's okay to be a little flexiable with the times and if you eat about 6 small healtyh meals throughout the day you'll be in good shape. Now here's what I do:

    - I try to eat at the same times every day but being a teacher that doesn't always happen. I get up at 4 to exercise then I'll have a post workout recovery drink and get ready for the day.

    - When I'm done with all that I'll east breakfast which is usually between 6 and 6:30. My snack needs to be around 8:30 or 9 and I'll have a coffee, slpash of creamer, and a light snack.

    - Lunch is a part of a set schedule. My break is from 10:50 - 11:20. My afternoon snack has to wait until the end of the school day at 3:15, and by that time I need something to eat since lunch was so long ago!

    - We usually eat dinner anywhere from 5:30 - 6:30, it just depends on what we have going on. If I eat an early dinner or very low cal then I'll have a snack or dessert soon afterwards.

    There is nothing wrong with eating after 7- it is a myth that doing so will make you gain weight.

    Why are so many of you eating 6 meals a day? Clearly you are not ectomorphs so its quite mind boggling. I enjoy one massive feast in the evening which is about 1900 calories in total and yet I lose weight constantly and get to build some muscle in the process as well.

    Breakfast at 1:30-2:00pm
    Snack about 4pm
    Lunch/dinner at 6:30pm
    Drinks and occasionally nibbles until 3am
    Before bed mini meal at 4 or 5am

    But I'm odd like that.
