What time of day do you eat your main meal?!


Question: What time of day do you eat your main meal?
When I was a child we always had a dinner at around 1pm and then tea at teatime. My parents were farmers so it was easier for us as a family to eat at that time, especially during the summer as my Dad would work through to the evening taking sandwiches etc with him for his tea.
Now with a more modern lifestyle everyone has a snack at lunch time with the main meal in the evening. This time of year most people just sit watch TV, internet or something that's not burning off the food.
Whats your opinion

Answers:

I usually eat my main meal late afternoon around half 4/5pm :)



Dinner for me is anytime between about 7 pm and midnight. Depends what time I get home, and how long it takes to cook. I know we're advised to have a large breakfast, medium lunch and small dinner, but I just don't have the time in the morning, nor at lunchtime, for a large meal. Again, because of limited time during daylight hours, the evening is the only time I can watch TV and surf the net, so I normally eat my dinner while I'm doing those things.



Me personally, about 2-2:30 AM-I work 11:30PM to 8AM.
In this part of the country-the Midwest, lots of farmers-traditionally folks at a big breakfast, a HUGE lunch and a light dinner. That way the majority of calories consumed coincided with heaviest work period. That's why I eat when I do. I have a light meal after work, sometimes a light snack before I leave for work.



When I was at home, from birth to age 21, we had breakfast, dinner and supper. Large breakfast, large meal about noon, which was dinner, then light meal around 6 pm, which was supper. I think this is ideal, although after I left home I usually had a light lunch and dinner at night. I recently decided to go back to my childhood schedule which seems logical and more healthful.

since i am a homemaker i have my lunch at 2 pm. along with modern lifestyle we are getting out of shape. we must follow a fixed time for our meals. breakfast is compulsory and should be had by 8 am. lunch is the biggest meal and must be had before 1 pm. dinner must be finished by 8 pm.



Because of my family working at night I make the main meal somewhere in the mid-afternoon time and then they have a quick bite at night. I really enjoy doing this also because eating the larger meal earlier is healthier. I cook in the morning for the main meal.



In England we have dinner about 1pm and tea about 7pm. The main meal is tea, we call the lunch time meal dinner.



2:30 am which is really bad because I am about to go to bed. I guess that is where that extra 20 pounds came from in college.



according to your work schedule prepare the table and do.
