Bob is right:
desayuno - breakfast almuerzo - brunch, lunch (in Mexico this is an early lunch at about 10 or 11am) comida - lunch, dinner (middle meal of the day, about 2pm in Mexico) cena - dinner, supper (evening meal) comida is also the generic word for food.

It's curious... It's not the first time I see that question, but unless it's a regional meaning, "cena" is invariable specific for the last meal of the day. "Food" can be "comida" or "alimento(s)".

creo que esa palabra es común porque en inglés no hay verbos como desayunar/cenar/almorzar y la gente mezclan estes verbos con comer

Thank you, Bob... In Spanish I would have said "no es la primera vez que veo esa pregunta".

Se podría decir también, "vi/he visto esa pregunta muchas veces". ¿O es el pretérito incorrecto aquí? Gracias

"Vi esa pregunta muchas veces" means you saw the question many times in the past, but not anymore. "He visto esa pregunta muchas veces" means you have seen the question in the past but in the present too.
"No es la primera vez que veo esa pregunta" is like "he visto...", however I wouldn't say "no es la primera vez que he visto esa pregunta"... it sounds awkward to me.
