    Mine is generally dinner. I bring my breakfast and lunch and snacks with me to work every day and I can only fit so much into my lunch box :wink: . I also like to leave at least 500 cals for dinner since it's generally my most unpredictable meal.

    My largest meal of the day is breakfast. I eat breakfast twice... like first I have eggs and then a mid-morning breakfast of oatmeal or raisin bread. Lunch is a light meal and dinner has protein and veggies. The double breakfast keeps me from snacking and gets me off to a great start. I have one snack after dinner such as a luna bar and a cup of decaf coffee or caffeine-free tea. For the decaf coffee I bought the dunkin donuts coffee that you can make at home and now it's a special treat for me. I have it with skim milk and 2 splendas.

    Mine is nearly always the evening meal. Occasionally on the weekend it may be in the middle of the day if we go to a cookout, party or other gathering with food. The evening meal usually consists of half or more of my daily intake.

    It would be a very rare day that it would be breakfast. I rarely eat breakfast at all.

    What is usually your largest meal of the day? Mine is dinner.But I am thinking I should make it breakfast

    If you exercise, it should be the meal immediaetly following. It should also be 75% carbs and 25% protein. Save the healthy fats for later.

    Dinner's always the biggest. I still live with my parents and they have a large say in what we're having for dinner. So I eat light at work just to make sure whatever our dinner plans end up being won't put me over.

    Mine is dinner. And I know that's probably not the best idea. Oh well...it's when I'm most hungry cuz it's right after I workout. Hasn't hindered my weight loss so I'm not too concerned about it.

    There is nothing wrong with having your largest meal as dinner (unless is affects your sleep).

    My biggest meals are typically breakfast and dinner - just after I wake up nd just before I go to bed. Never really seen the point of stuffing myself at midday; just makes me sleepy, and I'm never really all that hungry come lunchtime. Guess it doesn't really matter when your biggest meal is, though I lilke going to bed with a full stomach.

    On workout days, though, my PWO meal is the largest. That meal is either just a bigger dinner or an added extra meal whenever I do the workout.
