Really there is no best time to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your meal planning will all depend on your schedule. Basically, you want to eat every 2-3 hours. So, for example, you might have breakfast at 6am, snack at 9am, lunch at 12pm, snack at 3pm, dinner at 6pm and maybe a snack at 9pm, depending on your schedule.
