Breakfast, lunch and dinner times
Do you like having breakfast? How about lunch and dinner? I’m sometimes amused, and sometimes interested, by the different times people have each of these supposed healthy meals. For some people, breakfast is after 6 and before 11, because that is when the breakfast at Carls. Jr. ends. As for me, I don’t usually have breakfast. I have had breakfasts around 12 sometimes, which would be labeled lunch by many others.
How about lunch? For some people, lunch is between 11 and 1, while for others it’s between 12 and 1. It’s very weird, since lunch is somehow dictated not by when we get hungry, but by our class schedule and our lunch break at work. For me, lunch should be celebrated all day, whenever one feels like it. That is why I try to eat all the time. It’s very good, in my opinion.
Now the last part of the day for many: dinner. This is the most interesting time of the day for me, since for me eating dinner at 4 or even 5:30 is very funny. For me, dinner is supposed to be when it is pitch dark. It could be because sometimes I sleep very late, but the idea of having dinner while it’s bright outside seems very, hmmmmm, funny. I have dinner at different times. Sometimes around 6. Sometimes around 8. Sometimes around midnight. Of course, during the whole day I try to nibble or chomp on something from time to time. It’s your body, eat whenever you’re hungry.
How about you? When do you usually have breakfast, lunch or dinner? Do you have specific times throughout the whole year when you eat, or do you eat at times that vary and change depending on something throughout the whole year? What do you think about someone like me, who supposedly eats randomly? Also, what do you think of the small idea, that we already know what time something is supposed to be eaten, given the fact that I didn’t mention AM or PM or any specific part of the day [early morning, late at night, afternoon] throughout this whole post, and somehow you still knew, through assumption probably, which part of the day was being discussed?
Here is a picture of BJ’s pizza, which I love more than, hmmmmm, burgers? Not sure. Anyhow, this was taken as I was exiting the restaurant. I was stuffed and felt like a stuffed bear, or a penguin, and decided to take this pic.

I always thought that "breakfast" was an interesting debate. Some people say it’s not breakfast if it’s after mid-morning, but if it’s the first meal of the day, isn’t it whatever your first meal of the day is - be that it might be the same meal as lunch or even dinner?
My lunch break at work is whenever I want to take it, provided it doesn’t conflict with a meeting. Usually that’s 1:30, sometimes 11:30 or noon-ish if I’m hungry earlier. It used to be at 2 or 3, back when I still got to sleep in till noon. But yeah, I agree that lunch usually is dictated by when your school or work decides that lunch is. Then again, I ate lunch at school after lunchtime by sneaking bites during class
but that’d be snacks and not a meal right?
What about supper? I never understood what the difference between that and dinner was, if it was to replace dinner because it was an earlier dinner, or if it was another meal before dinner?

Nice point.
In the case of calling a breakfast anything that is the first thing eaten in a day, I’ve had breakfast a lot then. :p
Supper is interesting too, just like those AM-PM ads these days saying "Linner" and "Lunner", the combination of lunch and dinner.
I think snack can be a meal also, anything that goes into the stomach.
