    Honestly it depends on how I'm feeling and what day it is. If it's the weekend then I like to have a large breakfast, light lunch, and moderate dinner.
    If it's during the week and I'm heading to the office, either a really light breakfast or no breakfast,followed by a heavy lunch and maybe a light snack around 5.
    If I'm working from home, a moderate breakfast, grazing, light lunch, light dinner.

    Snacks.

    If I consider them all together, this is true for me also on a lot of days.

    Weekdays is definitely dinner. During the week I tend to eat like 75%-80% of my calories at night

    On the weekend it's a bit different and it really depending on what I'm doing. For example if I'm planning on a long bicycle ride then it'll be breakfast as I'll be fuelling up so I have enough energy to last me peddling for several hours. If I'm socialising it will be whichever meal I'm socialising over and if I have nothing planned it tends to be pretty evenly split over the course of the day.

    Usually snacks. Unless my hubby has made something delicious and heavy for dinner. Never any breakfast, makes me feel sluggish and hungry the rest of the day if I eat early.

    I tend to spread my calories out quite equally between my meals. The smallest meal I eat is my second one. Other than that roughly the same calories divided into 4 meals.

    Breakfast and dinner are my biggest meals. For breakfast I like 2-3 eggs and either oats or toast, a good sized serving of fruits or veggies, milk, plus coffee. For dinner, it's usually some sort of protein, a bunch of veg, and some kind of starch.

    My natural tendency is to have light lunches as I get caught up in whatever I'm doing and don't really think about eating. But I do try to have something so that I can meet my protein goals for the day. Lately I've been having either tuna or cold chicken plus a Greek yogurt of some kind. If I get hungry before dinner I have an apple.

    Usually dinner is the highest calories, sometimes lunch. My breakfast is the smallest meal of the day. I prefer to have most of my calories later in the day.

    Lunch is my biggest (nearly 50% of my calories), dinner is my lightest unless I'm not hungry in the morning, in which case breakfast is my lightest.

    Breakfast: 1,000 kj
    Lunch: 1,000 kj
    Dinner: 5,000 kj

    Any kj earned from exercise go toward snacks.

    Dinner and snacks. I never eat breakfast, and I eat a light lunch. I find I'm even hungrier during the day if I eat early...so I put off starting to eat till lunch and then load up later in the day.

    Usually dinner for me. Sometimes lunch on a Saturday if we go out to eat somewhere. Lunch during the week is usually just a couple of hundred calories, I don't usually bother with breakfast as such (although may have a yoghurt mid to late morning).

    I try to save more calories for dinner but its either lunch or dinner or they get the same amount of calories.

    I save half my calories for dinner and my post-dinner snack (usually chocolate). That's a bit over 1,000 calories, of which about 700-750 a protein-rich dinner and the rest whatever the heart desires.

    Eating a large breakfast doesn't agree with me at all. I used to skip it for years.

    They’re all the same size 500 calories for 3 meals and no snacks. I’m never hungry. Only a little when I wake up. I burn 400 calories a day at the gym
