lunch before or after nap?

My girl wakes at 7/7:30, breakfast at 8, snack at 9:30, lunch at 11:30, nap from 12-2, snack at 2:30, dinner at 6, bed time at 7:30 - sometimes I’ll give her like a cheese stick or apple pouch before bed.
@Emi what kind of snacks are you offering? Today my daughter woke up at 2:30. Gave a whole banana at 3:30 and she was ready for dinner around 5. And seems to want another snack before bed. When usually she wouldn’t be hungry if I did it the other way around if that makes sense.
My boy wakes up at 7:30am, milk then breakfast at 8am, snack around 9:30am, lunch at 11am, milk and nap from 12-2, snack at 3pm, dinner at 6pm, milk and bed by 8pm :)
Snacks usually consist of an apple sauce pouch, half a banana, cheese stick, Amara smoothie melts, some berries - but my girl is a big eater. She eats 3 big meals and sometimes 3 snacks a day. I’d say just listen to her cues and feed her when she’s hungry.
We do wake-up 630a. Little milk. Breakfast 730 or 8a. If he didn't eat a lot, I'll offer a snack at 930a but cut him off at 10:15a-ish. If he ate a lot at breakfast then he'll be fine until lunch at 11:30a. Milk after lunch. Nap at 1p-3p or sometimes 4p. Snack or remaining milk when he wakes up. Dinner at 530p or 6p. In bed at 745p.
Both... she does a small lunch and protein shake before nap, and then she has more of a girl dinner style meal (cheese, fruits, nuts - will not eat a large meal ever)
