I have to eat a late dinner on most day's due to work :(

    Breakfast - usually 7-7:30 a.m. (except on weekends - then a bit later)
    Lunch - Noon
    Dinner - 7:00 p.m.

    Snack or sweet - whenever the mood strikes and I have enough calories for it.

    Whenever. Personally I don't have set times of eating, but ensure I get in the right amount of calories and macro/micros needed on a daily basis.

    I so rarely eat an actual meal these days I pretty much just graze.

    I eat when I'm hungry or just feel like putting something in my mouth, so no special time. :)

    About every three hours is average for me. I can go longer but don't like being hungry. I drink a ton of water during the day too. I try to keep each "meal" under 300 cal and I eat back my exercise calories.

    I used to have set times, now it's pretty flexible. But I usually have breakfast between 7 and 9AM, a little snack maybe, lunch around 12:30PM, another snack, and dinner around 4-5PM. On days that I stay up later, I tend to have a snack after dinner too. :)

    Whenever I'm hungry, basically.
    I have breakfast anytime between 6-8am, a snack around 11, lunch at about 1pm, dinner between 5:30-7, a small snack around 8pm.
    So yeah... all the time.

    Edit: I also occasionally snack between lunch and dinner if dinner will be closer to the 7 mark.

    To preface this, I don't eat at these times because I think it'll help me lose weight. I eat at these times because that's how my schedule is and I like my daily routine.

    5:00AM - Quest bar (on lifting days, 4x/week)
    Workout
    7:45AM - Protein smoothie
    8:30AM - Breakfast
    12:30PM - Lunch
    3:00PM - Snack
    6:30PM - Dinner
    7:30PM - Dessert (if I can fit it into my goals)

    Now, that's weekdays. Weekends are not nearly as predictable.

    I'll eat breakfast anytime between 9 and 12, lunch between 2 and 4, then dinner around 8 or 9, with a snack around 10:30 pm. I like to push eating later to try to combat the late night snacking urges :)

    Whenever I feel. Some days I eat breakfast at 8am, sometimes at 12 pm. Lunch is anywhere from 11 to 2 or 3. Sometimes I skip lunch. Dinner is usually around 5. Snacks I typically eat around 9 pm when the kids are down and after my lifting.
