What is the average calorie intake for lunch?

I'm on a restricted calorie diet, well just starting, and I am interested to know what is the average amount of calories a person eats for lunch? Right now I have a small salad, baby cut carrots, a mini cucumber and protein shake, and coffee which according to calorie counter is 250 calories

    How much do you aim to eat total in a day?

    I prefer to eat a light lunch, maybe only 15% of total calories if I had to assign it a number. On my restrictive diet, I'd eat about 1500 calories a day, so about 225 calories for lunch and 640 ish each for breakfast and dinner. It's really just a preference thing, though. Some people like to eat the same amount for all meals, and some like to get all of their calories at dinner.
