In ancient Egypt ordinary people (that is, most people) ate twice a day - at sunrise (iSt = morning meal) and at dusk (mSrwt = evening meal). Richer folk sat down to an enormous afternoon meal as well (sty r = midday meal).
Poor families ate squatting on the floor at a low, round table taking their food from communal bowls with their fingers or using chunks of bread. Before and after eating they poured water over each other's hands and rinsed their mouths with water. Using common utensils in this way certainly increased the risk of transmitting infections from one person to another.
There is no evidence that either the morning or evening meal was considered a "main" meal - they both seem to have been equal.
Afternoon meals in a wealthy household often became banquets with many guests seated on individual mats or stools, perfumed cones on their wigs and scented water for washing. The major difference would have been the much wider range of foods available to the nobles, including far more meat dishes.
