    You only need three words. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Small meals don't count and can all by classified as snack. Brunch is allowed, but you can easily just say lunch and say you skipped breakfast.

    The same is in Russia завтрак, обед и ужин.
    Personally I call any food I have after I got up as завтрак. Even if I woke up at 1pm.

    значит

    завтрак
    обед/ланч
    полдник
    ужин
    Значит, словарь, из которого ты взял это определение, несколько неточен.

    А что же точно, в таком случае?

    Ланч - это обед.

    Dinner одним словом хорошо не переводится. Т.е., dinner - это скорее ужин, но и supper тоже ужин. Dinner в среднем плотнее, чем supper, а кроме того, dinner часто, хотя и не всегда, обладает некоторым значением. Либо семья собирается вместе, либо это ужин в ресторане, либо это ужин вдвоём... В общем, "наш" ужин, когда люди немного едят вечером, зачастую отдельно друг от друга, - это, скорее, всё-таки, supper. Но американцы (про англичан не знаю) довольно часто едят dinner, а не supper, т.е., едят поплотнее, чем мы, и в кругу семьи.

    PS: the same construction of sentence in Russian "Looking ... I noticed" considers wrong as Bob Whiteman said. So I'd like to know, is it correct in English or should I say "When I was looking... I noticed"?

    It's perfectly fine in English, it's just an informal way to speak. Everyone uses it. However, don't speak like that at a formal event, like a job interview, for example.
