When do you...

When do you eat the most calories?

meaning: which "meal" do you find is highest in calories for you, do you spread them out evenly, etc.?

Not looking for advice, just curious what everyone else is doing.

:heart:

    I don't have a particular order. I eat when I am hungry until I am full.

    The weekends is what kills me...I can usually do well during the week.

    Most of the time for me it is dinner but usually because I work out in the evenings.

    Always dinner. I usually eat:

    Breakfast: ~300
    Lunch: 600-800ish
    Dinner: 800-1100ish

    I don't really snack other than a craft beer here and there after dinner.

    Average is about 2000 a day, so I usually end up eating about half that in one meal. Works for me.

    I like a big hearty breakfast!!

    Although I have days where it can work out that I eat around the same calories for breakfast, lunch, dinner.

    I usually eat a very light breakfast and then most of the rest of my calories are usually pretty evenly spread between my late AM snack, lunch, PM snack, and dinner. I rarely eat after dinner. If I do, it's usually something fairly small like a tablespoon of nuts.

    Definitely dinner. I also eat about 60% of my day's calories in that meal, about 20% each for breakfast and lunch. I don't usually feel hungry in the day but I can't sleep on an empty stomach, it seems to work well like this :smile:
