Regularity is one of the most important reasons about why Italians are - in general - pretty slim.
- Coffee or milk in the morning (or both) and cookie (optional).
- Morning: nothing.
- Lunch (1pm to 2pm): Most important meal of the day. Eat carbs AND proteins. And perhaps a dessert.
- Afternoon: nothing. If you are a kid: something sweet (4pm).
- Dinner (8pm to 9pm): something light, bread, cheese, vegetables, fruits. No need for complicated stuff.
And here you go. You will stay slim, I promise. This site use the same idea: regularity helps a lot.

But yes I think many of the Mediterranean cultures have it figured out. The espresso-high fat (croissant) breakfast and one huge meal work great with my intermittent fasting.
