    Everyone is different, that's for sure! My calorie spread is usually something like this:

    300 breakfast
    200 second breakfast
    300 lunch
    300-400 dinner
    200-250 snacks

    Due to the husband's work schedule (late lunch) we normally eat dinner around 8:00 pm, so the timing doesn't seem to matter. I try to not go over 1500 for the day WITH exercise and I'm losing at a slow but steady pace - 25 pounds down and about 10 yet to go.

    My calorie spread is

    Breakfast: 50 (coffee)
    Lunch: 400
    Dinner: 400
    After Dinner Snacks: 650

    Do what you feel most natural doing, it doesn't make a difference.

    I tend to eat when I am hungry. For example, I ate 663 calories for breakfast today. Some days I skip breakfast completely. As long as finish the day around my calorie goal, I don't worry about the when :)
