Meal Times

In the U.S., meals are usually served at the following times:

Breakfast: between 6:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.

Lunch: between 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Dinner: between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Dinner is often the most substantial meal of the day, and usually includes a main course of meat, poultry or fish, accompanied by side dishes such as soup, salad and vegetables. Lunch in the U.S. tends to be a lighter meal (often a sandwich, yogurt or a light entrée). Breakfast meals can vary from cereal and milk to eggs and pancakes or French toasts. Brunch, a common Sunday meal served between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., is really a combination of traditional 'breakfast' and 'lunch' dishes. Scrambled eggs or omelets are often served along with other regular luncheon dishes. In many restaurants brunch is served from about 10 a.m. until mid-afternoon.
