Interesting..  I still tend to have regular (or semi-regular) meal times, but I find that I usually am actually hungry around those times.  Also, at least at work, I feel like it's generally best to take lunch around noon or so because a lot of other people do too; if I don't eat my lunch then, then I might find I might not get a chance to eat lunch due to my afternoon being busy doing work with co-workers, meetings, & such.  But honestly though, that has been somewhat rare.

Also, for me, I might avoid eating potatoes exclusively, as I need to be careful about carbs.
