Depends. If we only have bread, veggies, and other common foods I'll pass until I'm hungry. If we have some steak, pasta, or chicken sitting in the fridge I'll eat just for the fun of eating.

I take lunch at 1:00 when working 7-4, makes the day go by so much faster. I usually am hungry by then and force myself to eat a little something even if I am not which is rare.

sometimes.

Other times I'll go 24+ hours without food because I'm not hungry. But at school, meals are just a way to hang out with your friends so I'll eat three meals a day just because its mealtime.

I usually eat twice per day. A sandwich before work at about 2:00pm and then a good dinner after work around 12:30am.

I just eat when I'm hungry.

I don't really think of meals in terms of breakfast/lunch/dinner.

I try to eat 5-6 times a day. Good stuff, not junk.
My biggest meal is breakfast. I usually have a big bowl (or 2) of whole grain cereal or oat meal, 2 pcs of whole grain toast or english muffins with peanut butter, 2 pcs turkey sausage or bacon, a piece of fruit, protein shake and a cup of O.J. I will have a snack a couple hrs latter (fruit or something). Lunch is a lean pocket and some baked chips or some thing. A couple more snacks then just a sandwich or some thing for supper. Who needs a lot of calories to sleep?
I am never hungry> I try to eat forward.
