On a work day:
Coffee (with milk) during my drive, starting about 6:15
Breakfast - about 8:30, after I reach my desk
(There's a gym workout in there too - it's not all commute!)
Lunch - 12:00 ish
Dinner - 6:30 ish

On at-home days, breakfast is about 7:30 or so.

Breakfast at 7:30 every day.

Lunch between 12:00 Noon and 1:00, depending on if it's a work day or if I'm at home

Dinner: 5:00 if we're home; 6:30 if we're at the gym first

On a work day somewhere between:
Breakfast - 5:00 - 5:30
Lunch - 12:00 - 12:30
Supper - 5:00 - 5:30

On the weekends it varies, depending on what's going on.

I eat a brunch when I first get hungry around 11. Then I eat dinner around 5:30. I feel yucky sometimes when I eat breakfast. :roll:
I guess this doesn't work unless you actually do it.
Please pray for me

I should revise this. IF I eat breakfast, it's at about 7:30. I typically don't eat it because, like reneew, I most often feel yucky if/when I eat breakfast. My first meal will then be about noon. However, if I get hungry before noon, I'll have some fruit. I don't think of it as a snack, and that's enough to keep me going until I have that first meal at noon.

8, 12, and 7. Some smallish snacks in between - cheese and yogurt.

M-F
Breakfast: Right before work (we have a cafeteria) so 7:45-8:00
Lunch: 11:30
Dinner: Depends on how long it takes to drive from work to food + prep time, but yeah, ASAP

I need my three meals a day (exception below).

Sat.
Breakfast: Whenever I wake up and get the energy to grab something (time varies significantly)
Lunch: Between 11:30 and 2:00 depending on the timing of breakfast
Dinner: 5:00 to later, depending on previous meal/snack time, but I do like an earlier dinner

Sun.
Breakfast: Before church (church starts at 9) or none at all
Lunch: Right after church (ends at 11 - please note that 2hr is not the length of the service but the length of the service plus the length of Sunday school)
Dinner: right after church evening service (evening service ends at 7)

Weekdays (start times)
Breakfast: 7:30-7:45
Lunch: 11:15-11:30
Dinner: 7:30-7:45

Obviously there's a big gap between lunch and dinner - I'm a teacher so, lunch can't be moved, and my husband gets home at 7:30, so dinner can't be moved. I'm considering adding a mini-meal in the middle but restricting it to fruit and yogurt.

The weekend is usually a free-for-all, with dinner being the only consistent meal around 8 p.m.
