For me and dinners, too: I'm trying something new, well, not really new.  I am a grazer, always have been, but I'm trying to eat healthier with my 6 little meals a day.  I drink water before and after every meal as well.  But, I thought maybe I'd list what I'm doing for my meals and I'd be better about sticking to it, and hopefully get my family converted to eating this way, too.
