I've heard this before but in practice it is not so great to consume the bulk of my calories during lunch. The practical problems are:

- There is no time in the mornings to make larger entree-type dishes (i.e. that have more calories) that I can eat during lunch.
- My wife makes larger entrees for dinner so I could theoretically eat my little 300-calorie sandwich for dinner and then save the entree for lunch the next day; however, that means I'm eating re-heated leftovers for lunch every single day and never getting to eat something while it's fresh or hot off the grill or whatever. (NOTE: I don't have a problem with eating re-heated leftovers for lunch but the point is that I also get to eat them when they were fresh as well. I don't want to only eat leftovers.)
- I could minimize the leftover issue by eating out for lunch every day but eating out every day is too expensive and complicates the process of counting calories.
