Calorie division

How do you divide your daily calorie budget? Is one meal heavier by design or all fairly equal?

I'm at 1430 a day. I'm pretty equally divided with 150-200 in snacks.

    500, 400, 400 (rounded down of course)
    breakfast, dinner, snack (or i guess you could call it breakfast lunch dinner)

    on non-workout days i have to have lunch or i get so hungry..
    so non work out days look like 400, 100, 400, 200

    I like to have more calories available for dinner, so usually I have 200-300 breakfast, 200-400 lunch and the rest for dinner. My snacking habits vary, though. I may not have any or I may have a lot!

    Mine are like yours, fairly equal. Dinner usually tends to be a little higher but I try not to make any too heavy. 3 meals, 2 snacks.

    Mine are pretty equal too! About 300 for each but slightly higher for breakfast and slightly lower on snacks...

    Depends on my plans for the day. If I know I'm eating out, I'm making sure to prepare for it by eating less calories my other meals. I don't really care how even my calories are from meal to meal. I just care that I'm not over my budget for the day.
