    I have my first meal whenever I'm hungry enough to eat after waking up. Sometimes it's 9am, sometimes it's 6pm. I have my last meal before I go to sleep. It'd be difficult and somewhat dangerous to eat after you've fallen asleep. Sometimes I fall asleep at 11pm. Sometimes I fall asleep at 10am (I work overnights). So, my last meal is then.

    FYI, meal timing doesn't matter.

    FYI, meal timing doesn't matter.

    meal timing (ie: last meal at xx time or xx amount of hours before bed) doesn't matter.
    but eating healthy and more often does matter, in a sense, as it speeds up your metabolism.

    I eat breakfast about 8:30am after I have been swimming. I eat lunch between about 1:00pm and have dinner about 6:00pm. I may have a yoghurt or a small piece of fruit about 9:00pm. I go to bed around middnight.

    uni/ 9-5 days I eat breakfast around half 7 and dinner around 7 ish
    12 hour days I don't eat until my first break about 9 but dinner is later around half 8/9.
    I usually have a snack on my earlier dinner days like a biscuit or some fruit about 10.

    I need to eat in the mornings otherwise I find I just end up eating loads of anything for the afternoon and evening.

    Neither nutritional timing or frequency matters. It has no effect on metabolism. This is a myth.

    I usually have breakfast between 9-10am
    then I'll have lunch between 1-2pm
    dinner is usually at about 5pm
    then supper at 10pm (slice of toast with lemon curd, peanut butter, honey or nutella and a cup of tea)

    Snacks usually between lunch and dinner and dinner and supper...not usually hungry between breakfast and lunch.

    First meal I have around 9am once I get to work, last meal around 6-7pm, I like to graze throughout the day and eat when hungry, try not to get to the starving mode as I'll eat anything then.

    Why are people skipping breakfast? That is not good. Eating speeds up your metabolism especially eating protein. I understand some people don't like to eat breakfast but even something small like a hard boiled egg and a piece of toast. Uggh I couldnt do it! I eat between 6-7 am and my last meal is usually around 6 in the evening.

    I wake up between 545-7am so I usually have my first meal by 730 at the latest. And dinner is usually at 5-6pm, or whenever I get home from work.

    I like eating early because for me it feels like I have a kick off to my day. It gets me energized and ready to go. I eat at that time for dinner because I don't like to go to bed feeling full. For me it's uncomfortable and I would rather feel satiated than full.

    I can't eat breakfast for at least an hour after I've gotten up (or it won't stay down, never has) so the time varies between 7am if I'm up very early and 10am if I'm not. For dinner it's never later then 9pm normally it's about 7:30 or 8 my BF get's home about 6pm and I cook for the both of us.

    My breakfast is at 0725 on week days - and on weekends i usually have a combo of breakfast and lunch around midday so i can lie in. Week days I eat oats so simple with skimmed milk and fruit, a low calorie cereal or eggs on a slice of brown toast.
    I usually have a snack after dinner like a solero lolly (90 calories) around 2200h..

    I'm currently only eating three meals and no snacks (not for everyone but works for me)

    Breakfast - between 9-10am
    Lunch between 12-2pm
    Dinner between 6.730pm

    Drinks in between. I don't often, but if I do feel hungry between meals I'll have a Horlicks or milky coffee.
