Pizza.

Only caveat is it's cold pizza for breakfast, hot pizza for other meals.

Quiche is usually associated with Breakfast/Lunch, but no reason it can't be dinner.

Fruit.  Peppers.  Onions.  Tomatoes.  Potatoes.  

I would also say Corn.  Grits for breakfast, corn for lunch, Tortillas for dinner?

Sausage isn't a bad call either.  It works as breakfast, like a patty with your eggs.  It works for lunch as maybe a Brat on a bun.  It works for dinner as a Brat with kraut, or as some loose sausage flavoring a marinara sauce.

I think we're all dancing around the fact that the Pig is the critter that provides the most versatility.

Bread and meat, because there are so many recipes on how to replace/supplement (because they are so good) ect.. bottom line is I can eat a slice of sourdough at any time of the day. I can eat a hard boiled egg and steak at any time of the day.

I have been known to have a bowl of Cheerios for dinner, if I didn't feel like making anything.

I'll throw my official vote in for rice, can eat that any time.

But nobody has mentioned shrimp yet. I would believe it to be acceptable to serve shrimp and grits for a meal at any time of the day.

I can do rice and eggs all the time. Take the rice add some sesame oil, soy, rice wine vinegar and green onions, throw a couple of sunny side up eggs and break the yolks all over the rice. As much Sriracha as you like (for me it's a lot) and enjoy.

Naan. You can have garlic Naan, butter Naan, onion Naan, basically every flavor for every occasion! One of my favorite snacks is butter Naan with brie cheese.

Toss all the regular pizza stuff on your garlic naan, put it direct on the rack 10-15 mins at 350. Best quick pizza you'll ever have

Growing up, dessert for me was a bowl of Captain Crunch. So, I can get behind this 100%.

Someones a page back said a burrito. Fat kid me used to slap a fried egg on top of a gas station burrito. I FULLY expect to die of super-cancer in the next 10-15 years but I regret nothing. 

So...burrito. If any of yall grew up with Hispanic homies, you already know huevos rancheros is a deconstructed burrito. And it's fine by me.

STOP!

There is an outstanding Indian/Pakistani restaurant we frequent that also does a cheese stuffed naan along with the others you mentioned. I'm getting ready to start making Tikki Masala, but alas, we have no naan. 

Epic fail.

I do love breakfast for dinner, too, so maybe we can add pancakes, eggs and waffles to the list. 

The real three meal food is potatoes, in the form of latkes. Good with breakfast lunch and dinner.

Fortuitous. My knee-jerk reaction was ham, and there's not a time of day I won't embarras myself getting outside any quantity of it, but there are plenty of people in the world who can't or don't eat pork.

The real three-meal champion is the tuber. All are welcome in potatoville. There is no wrong way or wrong time.

Andy my body reflects this attitude.

Pie. Not only goes great as part of any meal, but any time between meals as well.

Breakfast joints don't serve pizza, and pizza joints don't serve breakfast. Answering pizza is really just answering 'leftovers'.

Casey's gas stations serve an inspirational breakfast pizza that I have enjoyed many times 

Really though, for me there are no holds barred, I'll eat whatever I want when I want it, to include ice cream, but yeah ham is pretty ubiquitously appropriate. Potatoes, too, because let us not forget McDonalds hash browns

Going to go out on a limb here and say rice. There are places where they eat rice 3 meals a day, and I could live in those places. 

In the days since I posted this I have enjoyed rice (equally)  for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Yup. Ky state park lodges still do it that way, and as a native Kentuckian, it makes me proud.

Fried chicken grease does soak up the night before about as effectively as anything I've ever encountered including the vaunted bacon,egg and cheese from McDonalds.
