Balance of Food

I love food marketing way more than others. So when Taco Bell introduced the concept of the "fourth meal," I wondered "how many meals do young people eat?" Breakfast may not be much for those who are young and on the go. And it may be at 11 a.m. More often, a pesudo-brunch may kick in. Dinner time is usually a 6-7 p.m. phenomena. So that really is 2 meals, maybe with a snack somewhere in there. So the third meal can really kick in about 11 p.m. or midnight, around the time one might eat at Taco Bell or some other equivalent. And this method is more of a guy thing. Women are taught to eat more meals yet smaller ones. So they might eat 6 meals in a day (certainly one can involve burritos). So am I wrong? Do young people eat 3 meals plus the late-night run, like Taco Bell says?
