Just out of curiousity, what time do you usually eat dinner? I thought I was the odd one. I eat whenever I feel hungry. And I never actually sit with my family as whole and eat together. Sometimes I eat at 9pm and sometimes it might be later. And it also depends on the day too. Am I the oddball, the only one in this world that eat at irregular time?? =D

I eat around 6 pm. To give my body chance to burn the food intake before i sleep.

My husband and I eat dinner anywhere between 5 PM and 10 PM, depending on what we have on the go that day, and how hungry we are. LOL Today we got so wrapped up in the inauguration ceremonies that we forgot to eat breakfast, so that turned into lunch, lunch turned into supper, and we had a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches around 10. LOL

I have my dinner at around 19:30 - 20:30. Our family will wait for eat together. We will talk about happening of today while having our dinner. Most of the time, I just listen to our family happen and enjoy the dinner with TV show at the same time. It is nice to have dinner with my family. I enjoy it so much! Moreover, you should eat more regular. It is not heathly to you, my friend. HaPpY MyLoTtInG!

It is not heathly to you, my friend. " == Thanks. But I am afraid that if I eat too much I will be fat. hehehehe...

I think no~~For me,it depends on the place,at campus,i usually eat dinner at four or five clock,because if you eat too late,there is no food left for you.But if I am at home,the time is flexible,i may eat at 6,7,8 or 10 sometimes~~~~~~~It is up to my mood.

I'm pretty much the same way. I just stuff my face when I'm hungry. I might not be hungry at certain times of the day, so why give it a set time? Well I'm speaking for myself here. I'm not always hungry at the same time everyday. I can only truly enjoy food when I]m actually hungry. I may cook something at anytime of the day for me and my husband, but I don't eat until I'm hungry, which could be right then, an hour later, or whatever. Right now I'm not eating certain foods that makes me put on fat. I'm just eating mostly fruits or beans or something like that.

I and my husband usually eat dinner at 7:15 PM because he needs to leave the house after an hour. He has night shift work and that make us eat by that time. We eat dinner during weekends later because he has no work and we have all the time during night to eat dinner.

I usually eat dinner around 7:00-8:00pm. It depends when my baby finishes his meal. But it really is very healthy to eat at around 6-7pm for healthier digestion. this way you would avoid having a full stomach before going to sleep. Note that, eating dinner with you family is also a great way to communicate with them.

My schedule is a bit limited by the dining hall hours at my university, but its any time between 5-8 (dinner hours for d-hall). I also eat when i'm hungry. If i dont get hungry in that time, i eat last second.
