Calling western meal schedules racist is uh… fucking dumb.
But the standard meal schedule is dumb and while the optimal approach is to just listen to your body adopting the Spanish meal schedule is a decent improvement.
Have a protein focused breakfast and then most of your calories in the mid day (Spain does this at 13-1500) and, if you want it, have a small supper in the evening (Spain does this at 8-11 but earlier isn’t a bad idea).
It’s very silly to eat all your calories at the end of the day so that evening meal should be much lighter than the American standard.
Yea - listening to your body is definitely the best approach… but if you have a family you’re coordinating meals with there are generally better options than the standard western meal schedule - your mileage will vary though and for you a heavy meal at the end of the day very well may be the best approach.

Okay, but I sleep like shit if I don’t have a heavy meal at the end of the day.
I think different people need different meal schedules, and the “one size fits all” approach is the problem.
