Meals and Food in the USA

Breakfast 6:30am - 7:30am Breakfast is anywhere between 6:00am - 7:30am depending on when one goes to school or work. Nowadays, some schools offer breakfast, so children may not have breakfast before going to school. They eat breakfast at school between 7:30am – 9:00am. Working individuals may not eat breakfast at home. They may eat it ‘on the go’ by stopping at drive-through and having coffee and/or some handheld sandwiches.

Lunch Lunch: 12:00pm – 1:00pm  Lunch is typically between 12:00pm – 1:00pm. Of course, there are exceptions. Some schools schedule lunch starting anywhere from 10:00am – 1:00pm. If possible, office-goers leave their offices by 11:30am or 11:45am to avoid long lines at 12:00pm. Some people may have lunch after 1:00pm, but, that is rare. Rarer still is to see people have lunch after 1:30pm. Generally, those who have not eaten lunch by 1:30pm will skip lunch. At work, some may elect to eat at their desk while working. This is called a 'working lunch.'

Dinner Dinner: 6:00pm – 7:00pm  Dinner time used to fall at 5:00pm or 5:30pm but due to the chaotic traffic and the change in office hours, dinner time has moved to a later time in the evening. This being said, it’s rare to hear of Americans having dinner on a regular basis after 8:00pm or 9:00pm. If they have dinner after the ‘normal’ time, it’s considered an exception to the rule.
