In Portuguese "breakfast" means Café da manhã, lunch means almoço and dinner/supper stands for janta. Maybe some Brazilian families have a snack in the late afternoon but it depends on the family. I think I've never heard of "pequeno-almoço". What I told you here are the main meals during the day. I hope I was able to help you, have a pleasant afternoon!
