People ate meals pretty much as they do today, with one important difference. It was recognized that laborers needed to have food to fuel them in their work, so the peasants and other people doing physical work ate breakfast in the early morning. Gluttony being a sin, wealthier people refrained from an early morning breakfast; possibly they also wanted to show off their lack of need, even though pride was also a sin. So normally, wealthy people ate only two meals (but rather nice ones), and poorer people three or more.
