Filipinos typically eat three main meals a day, which are breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Snacking between meals is also common.
The Romans had one main meal just as we have. They had breakfast and lunch, but these were lighter meals or even snacks. Their dinner was their main meal just as our diners generally are our main meals.
It is the main meal of the day, called comida (As in desayuno = breakfast, comida = dinner, cena = supper).
They didn't. They had three meals a day. We only hear about their main meal especially if it were a banquet. The Romans usually had a breakfast of leftovers from the night before and lunch was generally a light snack. However sometimes the lunch could be the main meal, if someone were entertaining visitors that afternoon, as in Cicero's letter to Atticus, talking about the luncheon his brother wanted to serve. Then dinner would usually be a snack. By the way, it was considered good manners to take leftovers home if you were invited to a dinner. A large napkin was brought along for this purpose.
French use to have a light breakfast in the morning and two main meals, a lunch around noon to 1 pm, and a dinner around 8 or 8:30 pm. Lunch is supposed to be the heartiest meal of these two if you have to choose.
"Dinner" might indicate the noontime meal or the evening meal, depending on which is the main meal of the day. In American usage, "Dinner" is used to indicate the noon meal on Sundays and holidays. It also continues to indicate the noon meal in many rural areas, particularly in the Old South. ... A light meal between lunch and supper (always the evening meal) is usually called a snack. Some Americans will attempt to mimic British usage by referring to a small meal in the afternoon as "tea."
For the same reason we have only one main meal. For the Romans it was dinner, just as it is for most of us. They had lighter meals or snacks for both breakfast and lunch, sometimes away from home, so dinner was when the family got together and had their main meal.
