The norm for me is breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with dinner being interchangeable with supper. I found out recently that the word supper derives from soup that you'd have at the end of the day right before bed, and in some places those are different meals. Some places also call whatever the biggest meal of the day is "dinner", which might be eaten at noon, which is weird to me. Small breakfast in the morning, smaller meal at noon for lunch, and then bigger meal for supper/dinner in the evening is what I'm used to.
