I have breakfast (home) and second breakfast (work) and try to be at lunch by 11:30, so elevenses aren't strictly needed.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When do you eat after that, ita? I think it's kind of odd that I generally go no more than three hours between breakfast and lunch, but then 6 or more between lunch and dinner.

When it comes to breakfast, I am like Jesse and ita, not you breakfast skipping freaks. Especially these days. I woke up and ate a bowl of cereal at 2 am, then went back to sleep, and I still woke up at 7:30 too hungry to stay in bed and sleep.
Frances is napping. I'm now eating a quesedilla and guacamole for lunch, then I need to get down to grading while Franny's still asleep.

I sometimes have an afternoon snack, but can easily not eat again for the rest of the day. I'm trying to force myself to always have "dinner" even if it's just cereal or a slice of cake.

I'm the other way around -- I almost always eat breakfast before I leave for work, so 8:30-ish, but I usually don't get around to having lunch until 2 or 3. (Of course, I also don't usually eat dinner before 9, so I guess they're all 6-hour gaps. Huh.)

I usually have a piece of cheese (2 cracker's worth,) around 10:30. And again at 11:30. And maybe at noon. Then I'm fine until 6ish, and that's dinner.
If it weren't for the fact that my metabolism was screwy before I got into this mode, I'd think that it was the reason my metabolism is screwy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Right now I have to eat every two hours, but normally I have a pretty regular 5 hour gap that I can stretch a little if I have to. I can often substitute sleep for food in the evening.

INteresting. So if I'm a front-loading freak, at least I'm in good company.
(I know other people don't like these conversations like I do. I could literally play "how do you do it?" forever.)
Now I want guacamole. Thanks, Burrell.

Swouncing
Just out of curiosity - when do you eat the largest meal of the day (if there is one significantly larger than the others)?
I remember being told once that in the USA most people have the largest meal of the day in the evening, while we have it at lunch. The lunch thing is definitely correct, but I have no idea about the USA schedule (if there is any, of course, that is).
