After completion of His creation, God (Shiva) was returning to Kailash to his supreme abode. At that time, all the human beings prayed Him and requested to inform them regarding their food timings. On hearing the prayer, He sent His message through His hauler the Nandi (bull) that human beings should take food once in three days. The Nandi, on its way with the message got confused and delivered a twisted message thathuman beings should take food three times a day.
Believing this as original message of God, people have been taking food 3 times a day, since then.

First of all Bramha is the creator and not Shiva. He is just the distructor. I dont know the origin of this story. Can be taken as a funny joke.

Thanks Arpana & Preeti.
Really it is a funny joke.
Preeti, you are right that as per the Hindu scriptures, Brahma is the creator.
If you go deep, you can know that Brahma, Vishnu and Shankar are the same one in different positions.
Example, if you are constructing a building for your own in a bushy jungle plot,
Your first role is to destroy (role of Shankar) the existing bushy jungle.
Your second role is to construct (role of Brahma) the building
Your third role is maintenance (role of Vishnu) of the building.
If you go furthe deep, you can even understand that Shiva is different from Shankar.
Example: Shiva is worshipped as Jyothirlingam, where as Shankar is shown as doing Tapashya. That means Shankar just like Brahma doing tapasya for getting power for doing some divine works. It is also shown that Vishnu (in the avatar of Rama) had worshipped to Jyothirlingam.
Preeti, if you don't agree with this points, please ignore. But these points are not posted as funny jokes

Thanks for not taking my comments seriously. And thanks for your explanation. I must say you have some great knowledge about our puranas.
I wish every youth in our country continues to respect our great culture and these granthas, I bet most of the 'anyayas' 'akarmas' will stop and this world will become a beautiful place to live in. Only the spiritually inclined can 'actually' understand the meaning of beauty of life. For all others it is either momentary or only materialistic.
Thanks again

Thank you Preeti & Guna for your replies.
There is nothing to feel serious in this matter. The Sanskrit proverb says “naana muneenan matascha bhinnha” meaning “different saints have different opinions”. You have just shared your views.
In our school days to honour the teachers we were taught a sloka:
“Guru Brahma guru Vishnu guru deva Maheshwara
Guru sakshyat Parambramh tasmeisri gurave namah”
If we go deep into this sloka we can understand, how Shiva is different from Shankar. It says guru himself is Brahma, Vishnu & Maheshwara. It does not say guru himself is Parambramh but equal to Him. Here Parambramh is Divine Light the Jyothirlingam (whose appearance is light).
To understand the meaning of Parambramh, please recall the sloka used by most of the housewives in the evening, while offering light to the deities.
Deepam jyoti Parambramh, deepam jyoti janardhana
Deepo haratu me papah, sandhya deepam namahstute.
Hope, you also understand the spirituality in depth and make your life pure, peace and happiness.
