    My biggest meal is dinner. It is logged in my diary as "lunch" because of my third shift schedule, but it's really dinner, lol.

    Meal timing is a myth and so is that whole "you must eat big breakfasts and tiny dinners" thing. I prefer dinner food (which is when I have steaks, pasta, etc.) so I make that one the biggest. I would rather have more of the food I enjoy most.

    Dinner and after dinner snacks take 50% or more of my daily calories goal.

    Lately I've been consuming the most calories at lunch time.

    Dinner. Sometimes I have a bigger lunch but between working out and just being active on the weekends, I tend to be very hungry at dinnertime.

    It's typically dinner time when I consume the most. I find that if I have a fulfilling dinner I don't want to snack later into the evening (which is a hard time for me.) What ever works best for each person I guess! :)

    usually breakfast. i work out in the morning, in a fasted state, and then i'm ravenous when i get home! eggs, bacon, avocado, protein shake, banana :)

    that sounds delicious and I usually do the same thing!

    I have most of my calories for dinner, and after dinner snacks. I either skip breakfast, or have a very light one, then a slightly bigger meal for lunch, and the rest in the evening.

    completely agree! I hate that I have to "snack" after dinner so I know if I have a larger dinner I'm not as likely to snack.

    Me too, I like breakfast but it's not something I take super pleasure in. My husband says that dinner should be my lightest meal. I love dinner it's my favorite meal of the day. What tends to happen is I go crazy on the portions. I also work late and I hate eating dinner at work it's not pleasant. However I have to find a way to make the change. I typically eat small breakfast meals and lunch meals to save calories for dinner but I need help with that. Thanks for sharing. I almost need a Jillian standing over me telling me 1 helping is enough geesh. Tedious battle but I am going to win.

    Dinner because that's when I have time to cook a meal at home.

    Definitely dinner. I've found that a good dinner around 6 pm keeps me sated for the rest of the evening.

    Breakfast is usually between 5-600 cals. I try to go down from there but sometimes dinner ends up at about the same cal intake. I notice without fail if I skimp on breakfast I have a crappy food day. I wake up and fuel up cause life could throw me any number of curves and I have to be ready!

    I walk daily after dinner so I eat most of my calories then.

    Dinner. Like most people say, it's because I have the most time to prepare it. I eat a small breakfast at work, medium lunch, maybe a couple of snacks (piece of fruit/some nuts) in the morning or afternoon, then basically finish the day with dinner and possibly dessert.

    My 5 meals are all pretty average in calories. Breakfast Snack Lunch Snack Dinner. But my Breakfast and First Snack are closer together. So definitely my morning is higher calories.
