Dogs usually don't eat several meals a day. They are active in the morning and in the evening when it comes to "hunting" and even then may only eat once in the wild. Depending on what your breeder instructed you to do I recommend twice a day so that they don't "gorge" themselves each day but split the meal to 2 small bolus. Many people aren't home for a noon time feeding so again twice seems to work out. My dogs are very good at telling time based on their eating patterns.
