I usually stop at dinner. If I do have something it's only a cup of tea and a little chocolate or something.

I usually eat my first meal around 1-2. Then my second meal around 7-8.

Maybe another meal around midnight depending on if i'm hungry.

This takes into account weekdays when I wake up barely in time for work, then eat lunch. Then eat dinner when I get home, then another since I'm a night owl.

Then, on weekends when I catch up on sleep and wake up at 11-12.

I almost never eat after dinner. I sometimes get hungry later but I just drink water. Need to stay in shape.

Usually eat dinner between 5:30 to 6:30.

Sounds like me, too. I also eat out of boredom and for comfort.

So, yeah, anytime is eating time for me. :(

That is almost exactly my eating schedule. I've been working on changing it though. Started at least drinking a shake in the morning on my way to work so that I get sort of a breakfast. The real fix would be to just wake up earlier and eat a real breakfast at home.

I've been trying to change it too. I try to eat a bowl of cereal or a granola bar in the morning. This keeps me from stuffing my face at lunch. I don't think I'll ever solve the stuffing my face at dinner problem. Not at least when I'm 5'9 and 150. I'm actually trying to get to 165 or so.

I eat ~6 meals a day, so I really don't have a conventional "dinner." Meals are distinguished as pre-WO and post-WO.

I usually get to work around 8 and eat either oatmeal or yogurt when I get there, then around 10 I have whatever I didn't at 8. Then around noon I have lunch, some fruit/nuts around 2, then work until class around 5:30 - 6:45 or 6:30 - 7:45, then off to the gym, then get home, cook and eat around 8 or 9pm, do some homework/taxes/auto restoration and then go to bed.


Then on the weekends I eat cheese and sausage and drink 30 beers.

It depends but the answer is usually yes. If it's a training meal (e.g. eating to specifically stretch my stomach) then I usually can't eat anything else for a good 2 hours after the meal.

I don't have any designated "eating times." I eat when I'm hungry or when I have time.

I stop eating sometime before I go to sleep. :)
Sometimes I won't eat anything within maybe 4 hours of going to bed, other times I eat right supper right before going to bed because I forgot to do it sooner.
