My wonderful missus and I do not agree on the time for an evening meal

So what time do you guys 'n gals sit down for a meal together in the evening. KFC after the pub does not count btw.

Weekends vary, normally around seven.

Clarebabes

5:30 in the week and about 6pm on the weekend. We have a nearly 3-year-old and like us all to eat together, so that is the time the old man walks in.

SJ_Skyline

7:30 till 8:00 weekdays, 9:00 till 10:00 weekends - usually.

i just have meal when im hungry, no point just eating because its x oclock. although if family revolve around 9-5 jobs/school then a structered meal time may be easier.

childrens meal 5-6pm.

me, i just time it to fit in my required nutrient intake for the day.

How long have you been married lol. Thought this kinda stuff would have been sorted by now!

GazTheHat

About 10-11pm, but i work a bar at nights. So i've a vampire lifestyle.

David Lock

A long time

And yes you're right in a way but things change over time. No kids, kids, kids leave home, animals to look after etc etc. All effect meal times.

Both working and before kids we would eat latish but now kids are gone. I like eating late but missus is an early bird, hence the post.

Thanks for replies, David


Gotta go - supper ready

Turbohot

My view is that one need not starve for the other one. Early one can eat early, and later one can eat later- job done. Have your Sunday roast together, though.

But if you have to eat early together, which makes you hungry again before bed time, you can demand a butty (evening supper before bed), you know. You can even make one yourself without troubling Mrs. Lock. I'm sure she won't mind as long as you leave some bread for the breakfast and some filling for next day's lunch.

Around 5pm every night.

Sunday roast on a Sunday evening is nicer than lunch time.

Also like a roast on a Monday evening helps clear the Monday blues

SiPie

Not hood for you Jef, both sleep and eating should be kept to as regular a schedule as possible

They say you need to give 3 hours after you eat before you go to bed .. so base it on that

Chip

About 6ish during the week and about 8 if cooking a nice meal on fri or sat night. Sunday dinner usually about 5.30.

Leslie

Can't see why it should develop into a problem. Bit of give and take would sort it easily enough surely.

Anywhere from 6pm should be fair enogh.

didnt explain i eat a meal every 3 or so anyway. as thats what my body is used to.
keeps a steady metabolism, and gives me the nutrients i want.

although what id consider ameal many wouldnt.

i cant eat massive amounts of food in one sitting, so id say what the average persons sunday roast - that would be halfed and do me 2 meals , although id up the macro's in accordance with my requirments.
