What time do you consider to be lunch time?

I consider lunch to be between noon and one. Also, I consider 11am to be brunch and 3pm to be afternoon tea.

I tend to have lunch around 11.30 since that's when I'm hungry. I suppose it's because I eat breakfast fairly early. I'm not really hung up specific meal times though. I eat when I'm hungry. I think around 3 I'd be calling it afternoon tea rather than lunch.

For me I would say 12:30 p.m. is Lunch time.

At 2:30 pm that to me is the
cut off time...for Lunch.

Afternoon Tea to me is 3p.m.

Lunch is usually between one and two o'clock.

I often give the kids "first lunch" at about 11 and then "second lunch" at about 2pm. I tend to refer to the first as lunch and the second as afternoon tea though to save the confusion. For myself as an adult though I would consider "lunch time" to be between 11:30 - 1:30...Lunch always had to be taken somewhere between those times when I was working.

Anytime between 12 to 2:30 is good. But I am not very particular. If I have a late lunch, I cut down on dinner.

I usually dont consider any time to be lunch time -just when I am hungry or feel like eating.

This usually happens around 12 when I start work at 1 pm and anywhere up to 1.30 pm when I am not working and have nothing to do.

If i eat earlier and am home, I tend to eat more in between and when I eat in between it is usually sweet things which I want to avoid. I have little willpower with food.

I think the generally accepted time would be between 12 noon - 1.p.m. but it's up to the individual. Personally, I sometimes don't have anything to eat until perhaps 2.p.m. as I just don't feel like it. Rarely have breakfast, not as a fad, just don't feel like eating. I do make sure I have plenty of fluids (water) though.

When I worked, Lunch could be taken between 11:30am & 2pm.

As I don't eat breakfast, I always opted for 11:30am Lunch. That kept me going until Dinner, which was between 5:30pm & 7:30pm, dependent on what day shift I was on.

Now, I eat when I feel like it!
