I don't think you can speak of an average. Personally, I registrate my diners in the MFP-app and it depends on the amount how much I have spare for the other meals. For losing weight, it's only important to lower your calories on daily base and not specific on a specific meal.
Maybe not exactly the answer you're looking for, but I think it's different for each individual.0 -
I spend around 1/6 of my calories on my evening meal - half for dinner, and the rest split between breakfast, lunch and evening meal. My total "allowance" is around 1750-1800.
How much YOU should eat at each meal, is up to you. Which meal(s) do you prefer to keep small, and when do you like to eat more? Do you need to fuel workouts? Do you eat family meals? Only you can decide what is right for you.0 -
this evening's meal is about 1000 cals.
usual is anything between 600 -1000.0 -
Depends on the day. Most times I try to keep it under 500, usually it's around 300ish. Lunch is usually my largest meal.0

Same0 -
I usually eat about 15% of my calories at breakfast, 25% at lunch, 20% in snacks and 40% at dinner0
-
I usually have 300-400 left for my evening meal. I like to save 50 for a tangerine or a square of dark chocolate.0
-
Dinner is anywhere from 200-600 calories (depending on what I ate earlier), while my bedtime snacks are around 200-300 calories.0
-
Dinner for me is 300-700 calories... 500-600 being most common.
It isn't a strict rule just how it works out for me.0 -
I know this varies a lot from person to person. For me, I do much better have one large meal rather than many small meals, so my evening meal is typically between 700-900 calories (though I also follow it up with a ~150-200 calorie bedtime snack like half an hour later, soooo...)0

I usually average
300 for breakfast
300 for lunch
600 for dinner
200 for snack
However if i am going out for a special occasion i save some either from each day or exercise calories and spend them all on the one meal0 -
Looking back at when I was still dieting I'd say
breakfast 220
lunch 350-380
snack veggies and/or piece of cheese: 40-100kcal
dinner and snack: 790-700kcal0 -

Same, except I'll usually do 100 for snacks and 400 for lunch. If it's a day where I run or do Crossfit, I eat back about 2/3 of the exercise calories and it usually goes to dinner.0 -
My breakdown is about 1/3 of my total calories for breakfast and lunch (combined), 1/3 for snacks and 1/3 for dinner.0
-
My breakdown is roughly 1/3 each for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Usually they are all within 100 calories of each other, tho dinner is usually the biggest as I usually having to play catch up to get to my gross calorie goal...still getting used to eating more now that I reduced my weight loss rate from 1.5 to 1.0 per week.0
-
My evening meal is between 500-800 calories. It's my only true "meal". I've been that way most of my life not eating much all day then one very large nighttime meal.0
-
i would guess on average 600 but it varies
my boyfriend can easily do a 1000 calorie dinner0 -
900-1100 calories on my evening meal (including dessert)0
-
All of them. That is the only time I eat.0
-
Around 500.
Breakfast 300
Lunch 300
Evening snack #1- 150
Evening snack #2 - 150
