Spanish Eating Schedule

Iḿ kind of getting used to the eating schedules and food portions here in Murcia.  My first few weeks in Spain, I was always starving.  As an American, I was used to eating earlier, with bigger breakfasts, somewhat medium lunches and dinners. Here is a visual aid to show the typical times and meal portions that the Spaniards, or, at least, Murcians, eat:

   -Morning- piece of toast and coffee (on the run)
   -Afternoon- ( around 2pm, siesta time) HUGE LUNCH!
   -Night- (Around 8pm)  medium dinner

This when I eat:
   -Morning- Medium to large breakfast (sitting down)
   -Afternoon- ( around 12 or 1) Small, quick lunch (on the run)
   -Night ( around 5 to 7) medium dinner

Interesting contrasts. :)
