    Mine are kind of widely spaced because I try not to eat unless I'm genuinely hungry. This (usually) means I have lunch around 11AM and dinner around 7PM. If I get legitimately hungry in between I will have a small snack at about 3PM (maybe twice a week), and about once a week I feel hungry near 10PM so I'll snack. Basically, my body tends toward intermittent fasting and I listen to it.

    I never timed them. No point to it. Sometimes I eat 12 hours apart, sometimes I'm hungry half an hour later. I only pay attention to macros and calories, as that is all that matters.

    Also, if you aren't eating from 5pm to 5am, you aren't eating every 3 hours.

    yeah, but anything consumed after 5pm instantly turns to fat...

    LULZ.

    I'm with that guy... tend to eat when I"m hungry or when I can. I try to push my food back as long as I can- I try not to eat till 10 or later- for various reason- but sometime I eat right when I get here at 8.

    I tend to eat around 9/10 AM- yogurt/protein/fruit 285 calories
    Then 1130/1200ish Whatever chicken/steak I brought in- 5 oz meat 5 oz veggies
    Snack around 1 ish.
    usually a few pieces of small chocolate here and there
    Espresso beans by 2
    2 hard boiled eggs by 3/4
    off to 2nd job.

    sometimes I eat- sometimes I don't.

    then I have a big ole meal when I get home at 1130 PM.

    Mon-Fri:

    Evenings I take a fitness class dinner is divided into 2 snacks - one at 5:00 and one whenver I get home.

    Weekends are a mess, but I normally eat 3 regular meals plus one snack in the evening.

    I'm trying to eat every 3 hours, 5 times a day. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner. Breakfast at 5 am and dinner no later than 5 pm.

    on week days breakfast at 7, snack at 10, lunch at 12, snack at 3, pre workout snack at 4.30, dinner at 7ish

    I've also never been able to figure out how people have dinner at 5 PM and that's their cut-off...if I'm lucky, I'm leaving the office at 5 PM...then I have an hour commute home...then I still have to make dinner, etc. I don't know...I usually eat dinner around 8:30ish. A 7:00 PM dinner would be pretty early for us.

    I normally eat three meals a day and snack as I get hungry. I don't have a set schedule though...on my days off when I sleep in I tend to only eat two very large meals. I used to save at least 1,000 calories for my evening eating, but I started working at an office job and get bored during the day, so I snack while I'm working and then eat a smaller dinner when I get home.

    I eat at a set schedule on days I am at work, but only because I am OCD like that.

    5:30-6:00 AM - Breakfast
    9:00 AM - Snack
    11:00-12:00 - Lunch
    2:00 PM - Snack
    4:30-5:00 PM - Simple carb snack if running
    7:00 PM - Protein shake if lifting
    (Work days I usually don't usually eat dinner since I get home later and need to get things prepared for the next morning for work.)

    On days I don't work then I don't have a set schedule...but dinner is usually around the same time (5-6 PM).

    During the work week:
    Breakfast: 7:15a
    Snack: 10:00a
    Lunch: 12:00p
    Snack: 3:30p
    WORKOUT: 6:00p
    Dinner: 7:30ish (whenever I'm done cooking)

    Sometimes I'll have an ice cream sandwich for dessert or a snack before bed if I'm a little hungry

    The weekend depends on what we're doing but it usually ends up being 3 bigger meals.

    I pretty much follow your logic but I don't care about eating between certain times. I hate going to bed hungry (can't sleep) so I'll eat something late to avoid that.

    I eat whenever I want to eat/whenever I have time to eat.

    Usually that ends up being three meals and some snacks.

    Yup. This.

    For convenience I have my body on an eating routine. I usually eat breakfast at around 9ish, lunch is at 1ish, and dinner its whenever I get home and make it anywhere from 5-7ish. Eating at relatively the same times every day really helps me with snacking which is one of my problems. But, if I am hungry outside of the times I usually eat I drink 8 ounces of water at least and wait 20 minutes to see if its actually hunger or just wanting to eat because of boredom. If I am still hungry then I will give it a small snack.

    On week days I normally eat breakfast at around 8:30 (when I get to the office), lunch at 11:30 or noon, and dinner any time between 7:00 and 10:00 PM (depending on my workout schedule, after work commitments, etc.). I snack in between when I am hungry, but do not have specific "snack times" except for when I get home from work - I generally have something light prior to working out (or cooking dinner).

    On weekends, I eat when I am hungry with no specific meal timings, however I do still have three larger meals with snacks interspersed.
