Just curiouse to see what time everyone usually eats their breakfast, lunch, and dinner? I try to eat my lunch a little later so I'm not snacking, but that usually doesn't happen.

Thanks in advance

    i tend to eat my breakfast soon as i get up so I have enough time before I get the gym.
    So breakfast about 0630, lunch about 1200 and dinner about 1800 but I tend to not have starchy carbs for dinner and keep those down ealier in the day

    I am a teacher, so my schedule is pretty fixed....breakfast at 6:45, lunch at 11:00, usually a snack during my last class (2:30-3:00) then I start dinner when I get home so we eat by 5:30 or 6:00 at the lastest. That leaves me an hour or so for a snack after if I need it....or plenty of time to exercise :) Snacking is not bad...I try to think of it as 5 smaller meals a day, instead of 3 meals and 2 snacks....keep the other meals smaller so it isn't so much.

    I eat every 2-3 hours. I drink a protein shake first thing (at 6:30/7am), then snack around 9/9:30, lunch is at 11 (I'm a teacher, it's scheduled), snack again at 2:30 and again at 4:00, dinner between 5:30-6:30 and an evening snack if I'm still hungry (usually high protein and low cal since it's so late).

    My diary is public. I typically eat 1 large meal and a bunch of snacks.

    I eat breakfast usually around 7 or 7:30. Lunch is between 11:30 and 12:30, afternoon snack around 2:45/3 o'clock (so I can have some energy to get through my workout), then dinner is usually between 5:30 and 6:30 (depending on how long it takes me to make dinner).

    I generally eat breakfast at 7:30, lunch anywhere from 11-12, and then dinner at 5. Yeah, I eat at "old people" dinner time, but I'm pretty good about not snacking in the evenings if I get enough for dinner.

    This sounds like I'm reading my schedule :)

    I set my meal catagories like this::

    Breakfast (6am to 11am)
    Lunch (11am to 5pm)
    Dinner (5pm to 9pm)
    Snacks (All Day)

    My actual meals are put in it's respective time frame, snacks (whether morning or afternoon are put in the snacks section, I do it that way so I can see how many calories I take in through snacking alone (my 2nd biggest vice), My 1st biggest vice is not drinking enough water!
