# Set time ranges for meals, snacks, and supplements

The default time ranges for meals in Carb Manager are based on traditional meal times. However, if you have a different routine such as a job on a night shift, and you have a [Premium subscription](/docs/subscribe-to-carb-manager-premium), you can customize the time ranges to match when you usually log meals, snacks, and supplements.

The default meal times are as follows:

- Breakfast: Meals logged before 11 AM.
- Lunch: Meals logged between 11 AM and 4 PM.
- Dinner: Meals logged between 4 PM and 11:59 PM.

**Note:** Snacks and supplements don’t have default times.
