just wondering how everyone eats their calories during the day? how many calories/fat/carbs are in your typical meals and snacks?

I know a lot of people do the 300 cals per meal and then 200 cals per snack. Just wondering what others do

    I usually eat 1500 calories a day and do 400 for meals 3X a day and 150 for snacks 2X a day. I'm not too strict on fat/carbs/protein ratios.

    i have no specific rhyme or reason to my eating. i eat three main meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and three snack times between meals and at night (although i don't usually snack after breakfast). my meals average around 200-300 cals/meal.

    my biggest meal is usually dinner though.. idc what people say, i like having a light lunch and big dinner :) it's how i was raised.

    ETA: i *try* to keep my carbs/protein/fat at 40/25/35

    Mine varies. A lot. Today, breakfast was 298, lunch 426, dinner 337 and snacks 600. Still have calories left and they will be logged as snacks. Some days i have huge meals and little to no snacks. Depends on what i feel like. I have 1520 calories a day and have started eating exercise calories as well.

    I'm doing 1200 calories a day. I usually eat 300 at breakfast and 300 for lunch. Then I eat more at supper and a snack later if I still need to. I exercise after supper.

    Whatever really takes my fancy, I've never though about setting it out.

    I usually eat one big meal... like 1500-1700 calories. That's around 4pm - 6pm. Then, I eat my ice-cream sometime before 10pm. I try to chug down protein powder before 10pm as well. And, I usually do this in the kitchen or the bedroom.

    130g protein
    60g fat
    The rest can be carbs, or more protein & fat.
