How many calories do you 'leave' yourself for dinner?

I enjoy sharing a home-cooked meal with my wife, so I usually figure about 60% of my pre-exercise calories will be in the evening: a light snack with a cocktail or mocktail, then dinner. I'm currently eating 1600 before exercise. I usually exercise in the late afternoon/early evening, so when I do that, those calories also get added onto the evening allotment, though sometimes I don't finish them until the next day.

The exception is when I'm doing a long bike ride (over 2.5 hours/40 miles), in which case I will have a larger breakfast or lunch, then aim to eat 200-250 calories an hour while on the bike, to avoid bonking. Since I burn 450-550 calories an hour, that still leaves a reasonable deficit to make up in the evening.

All of em!

But seriously, the majority of my calories are eaten after 5:30 pm. Sometimes like 1200 cals (that's not my total goal for the day!)

1200 right before bed.

I can't imagine eating 3 square meals a day. I eat close to 1200 calories, but I eat all the time. 150-300 at a time.

I actually eat my most calories at breakfast (400ish) considering its the most important meal of the day (sorry to be cliche haha) and I'm usually STARVING in the morning. Afterwards, I pretty much snack throughout the day and have a larger sized meal at dinner. (: also, my daily cal limit is 1200.

I don't "leave" myself calories for dinner because I always plan my dinner first, and "leave" calories for the other meals. I decide what dinner is going to be the night before, log it, then plan and pack my lunch and breakfast based on the calories remaining. This way I know I've always got enough calories for a wonderful dinner and if my breakfast/lunch have to be somewhat lacking as a result I know what I'm looking forward to, or I have the choice to throw in a workout and eat more for breakfast/lunch.
Dinner seems to average 700-800 calories most days.

I have to eat my school lunch, which is balanced for growing teenagers, so I tend to have to leave most of my calories for that. By the time I get home I generally have 500-700 calories left for the rest of the day. I'm actually considering trying out IF and skipping breakfast, but then I'm terrified I'll be starving by lunch time, lol.

I really struggle with dinner. Living in a house with two other adults that have conflicting schedules, sometimes it doesn't make sense to make a meal, or it is easier to grab a bite to eat from a fast food place. Plus my dad and brother don't really care about their weight like I do. And buying my own healthier meals is expensive. I know it isn't a good thing, but I've been "saving" most of my calories until dinner because I worry about not having enough. Usually it is about 800-1200 on a 1500 limit. I'm hoping to get past this though cooking more no matter who is home to eat it. There's nothing wrong with leftovers, right? (Other than no one eating them, which happens too often)

I eat 1900 a day.

Because I work afternoons, I'm up until 2 or 3 in the morning so I typically save 1000 calories to split between dinner and a big snack before bed. If dinner ends up being really late, or I go to sleep early for whatever reason, I just splurge and eat it all in one go .

As much as possible lol.
I plan my day out a bit, but try and keep the calories reasonable during the day.
Once Ive logged my dinner I know where to add in extra food to get to my calorie goal.

Im eating 2000 cals per day so typically my dinners are about 1200 calories.
