We tend to eat later. At least 8:00pm. And most days, during the summer, it's around 9:30 when I get home from paddling practice.
i eat earlier. Somewhere between 5:30 and 6:30 usually.
My dinner time depends completely upon my work schedule. For instance, I worked the night shift last night, so today I was eating my dinner when everyone else was having breakfast.
Depend on when my husband comes home. He is self employed and times vary. But we started a ritual of stopping and enjoying dinner every night no matter what time.

Between 7:30 and 8:30 - sometimes later and rarely earlier - depending on what time my husband gets home from work.

With my husband's weird work schedule, it really depends. If he has early shift, we eat dinner between 5 and 6 p.m.. If he has late shift, and I'm home (like tomorrow), we eat "dinner" around 11:45 a.m..
Since I work nights, I have lunch at about 4pm, and dinner at work at about 1am.
No breakfast really.
No breakfast really.
Monday through Friday I have to eat when I get home from work, which is around 8:30. Saturday and Sunday I eat around 6. I try not to eat too late, though, so my body has enough time to digest it properly. I've read a lot about how eating too late in the evening is not very good for you.
Anywhere between 630-930! It's always different.
I usually eat around 5:30 pm. I seriously don't know how some people can wait til 7 or 8 pm to eat. My stomach strongly informs me that I must eat!! Then again, it does depend on when people ate lunch. That I usually have at noon.
The only time we eat dinner before 8 pm is if we're going out in the evening, and need to be done early, in which case it depends on when we need to leave. Ordinarily, though, I often don't even start preparation much before 8 and the meal could happen any time from 8 onward.
Usually around 6pm - the teenager starts to hover menacingly if we leave it later than that. When I teach the evening class I don't get home til 9.30 pm so I usually get my evening meal around 9.45.
A few years back, I was a pretty big boy, 220, and the years were piling up, 67, and when I would go deer hunting, I was almost certain I would experience a coronary conclusion before I got to the top of some of the hills.
East Tennessee isn't exactly flatland.
I decided to lose some weight, and I learned quickly that calory count wasn't by any means the whole story, as in bacon and eggs, or sausauge and eggs didn't cause the same weight build-up as did the same calory count of cereal and milk, so you might say I "discovered" the Atkins plan, lots of protien and few carbs.
I further discovered that food consumed early in the day had a chance to "burn off" during the day, and eating late in the day caused the food to "lay heavy" on the stomach and cause weight build-up, so by trial and error, I developed my own weight loss plan that WORKS ! ! !
I eat a heavy breakfast, about a pound of grapes before lunch, which is modest in calories, and low in carbs, and for the supper meal, I eat a LARGE, (maybe a quart) of solid salad, chopped celery, chopped bell peppers, and chopped cumumbers doused liberally with French fat-free dressing, cut 50% with water, and that is it for the day.
I ride the stationary bike a half hour before each meal at moderate speed, and the whole system works for me, 'cause I feel GREAT, and can do more than when I was 50, and I am 72 now.
Back to the topic of the post, DO NOT eat any heavy food late in the day, eat it early, eat deserts before 9:00 in the morning, etc, and the most important thing about it all, is to BE FAITHFUL TO THE PROGRAM ! !
My weight is now 155, and I am hungry all the time, but it is part of the price of feeling good and being healthy.
Do NOT lie to yourself.
Try it, you'll like it ! !
