Forgetting meals out and holidays etc on a "normal day" what are your meal times ie breakfast, lunch & tea?

Mine:
Breakfast - 10.00am - 11.00am ish - hopefully nearer to 10.00am
Lunch - 2.00pm - 3.00pm ish
Tea - 6.00pm - 7.00pm ish
 
weekdays breakfast between 7 & 8 am
lunch any time between mid day and 1.30 pm, usually nearer 1PM
diiner between 7 and 8pm

it varies wildly at weekends.
 
During the week:

Breakfast: 07.30
Lunch: 12.30
Dinner: 20.00
 
During the week
Brekkie 8-9
Lunch 3
Tea 6.45
 
Weekdays

8am - breakfast
12.15 - Luncheon
6 - 8pm Din dins

Weekends.. Your guess is as good as mine!!
 
Weekdays:
Breakfast 7.30ish
Lunch 12.30ish
Eve meal 6ish

Weekends are similar, but breakfast is more like 8-9 🙂
 
Whenever I'm hungry.

Realistically, this results in me grazing between 9 and 12 (I don't 'do' breakfast), lunch at some point between 12 and 2, tea usually around 7ish. But in general, I just eat when I'm hungry.
 
Work days -

Breakfast 10-10.30
Lunch 1.30-2.30ish
Dinner 7-8pm ish

This all depends on shifts too that my OH does, cos if he isn't there later on then dinner for me can be later by the time I wrestle children into the bath/stories/routine!! Then have to cook too depending what I am having.

Weekend can be totally different though, just depends on our plans for the day!
 
Brekkie - 0830-0900
Lunch - 1200 (unless out or volunteering)
Dinner - 1700-1730
Snack - 2100

Very close together but that's the thing when live at home
 
Brekkie - between 8 and 9

Lunch 1.00 to 1.30

Dinner 7.00-ish
 
Breakfast 6.30
Lunch 12.00
Dinner, when ever i get home, 19.30 normaly, but as late as midnight
 
Not many normal days for me, work shifts and on nights at moment

Breakfast - 4pm !
Lunch - 10pm !!
Dinner - 3am !!!
 
Breakfast, probably more like brunch as I'm usually too queasy to eat right away, but generally before 10am
Lunch between 1 and 2pm
Dinner before 8pm
Bedtime snack if bloods below 5 (most nights)
 
Breakfast 7.20 (most important), Sometimes miss but lunch around 12.30. Din din about 6. I adore to MISS lunch & sometimes no time (reduse basal on pump if miss)
 
Breakast: 7.30
Lunch: 12:20 - 12:30
Tea: 5:30 - 6:00
