Doesn't matter - as long as it's healthy. Just reverse the "normal" order; eat dinner for breakfast (there's no rule that you can't have spaghetti and meatballs with an antipasto for breakfast, or a steak dinner, or...), a healthy lunch and eat a healthy breakfast (could be ham and eggs, could be a Greek salad, or...) for dinner.
The point is, if, as has been dictated to us since the Industrial Revolution, it is deemed that we eat 3 meals a day (originally to accomodate factory work schedules) and are no longer hunter/gatherers, make them 3 healthy meals - big, medium and small, in that order. It's all about sustaining energy throughout the day, which is to say, fueling those needs at the right time.
Eating many small meals, grazing, throughout the day as we did when we were hunter/gatherers, is even healthier as it keeps the metabolism humming along and energy level high - for which reason, I think, hypo/hyperglycemics are told to eat in that pattern.
