It looks fine but again I think only you are the one who knows when you are really hungry .
Everybody is different so it is difficult to tell you your bodies digestion clock . If you feel really hungry eat that time . Take small portion meal ,so it will be digested soon .
Next Steps
take advice from dietitian, check your BMR
Health Tips
eat slow and take small portion many times a day .

Hello,
One must eat after every 3 hrs. So as to reduce the long gaps between the meals. Long gaps help in development of acid which is not required and can be harmful

Hi
As per your timings I can see you are giving a big gap in your meals.You should eat small and frequent meals.
Big gaps are not good for you as that can have ill effects on your health.
