For me it depends on what I'm doing. When I worked full time
construction I got up between 5 and 6 and had my big meal of the day
at 9-9:30. Occasionally I'd tap into my lunch on the way to the job
but usually I had no interest in food until I had a few hours in on
the clock. But by then I was usually pretty damn hungry. Now that my
schedule is different and I don't do physical labor early in the day I
usually don't eat until around noon. Sometimes not even that early.
These days I usually have a small lunch and a nap. Then we eat a nice
dinner later in the evening.

I'm quiet in the morning too. Only essential conversation for an hour
or so.
