For me I usually eat around 400 calories for breakfast 400 for lunch and around 400 to 500 for dinner. And then a couple of snacks in between!

Breakfast is usually around 200 or 250

Lunch is about 400

Dinner can be anywhere from 300-500

Plus some snacks in there...my daily intake is supposed to be 1230-ish calories to lose a pound a week.

I average about 300 for breakfast and lunch and then about 400 for dinner... plus snacks that I try to keep under 100... I'm usually between 1200-1300 a day!

Breakfast - 350 calories at 5:30-6:00am
Second 'breakfast' at work - 200 calories 8:30-9:00am
Lunch - 300 calories approx. 11:00am
Second 'lunch' - 225 calories 2:30pm-3:30pm
Dinner - 400 ish calories between 7:00-8:00pm

Those are averages, the numbers do fluctuate a bit though. I am in maintenance, so my caloric goal is in the 1,700-1,800 a day range.

I average 200-300 for breakfast, 300-400 for lunch and 500-600 for dinner. Also have a snack or two (depends on the day and how I'm feeling)--I try to keep them below 100 each.

I work out for an average of 45 mins a day, 6 days a week and try to eat half of my exercise calories.
