How to unlock the Six Meals a Day achievement in The Maw - Definitive Guide
For this achievement, you need to play the game at 6 different times during the day (8am, 10am, 12pm, 4pm, 6pm, 12am).
Now you could actually get this the intended way and load up the game at each of the times above, but an easier way is to manipulate your xbox time settings so that it thinks you are playing at these times.
The most straightforward way to do this is to change the time on the clock on your xbox, but to do this you cannot be connected online (when you are online, your xbox automatically pulls the time off the internet, so the option to change the actual time will be grayed out). So just turn off your router, or unplug your network cable, and the console settings should allow you to change the actual clock. Go into the game and load up a level, exit out to save, go back to the dashboard and then change your clock to the next time. The achievement will show up as being acquired offline, so this is the only downfall for people who do not like to get achievements offline.
You can get the achievement while online, but to do this you need to play around with changing the time zone settings on your xbox. So instead of changing the actual clock, you need to find the time zone that makes your xbox think it is 8am and so on. You can only manipulate the hour setting with this method, but you get a window of at least plus or minus 30 minutes, so the time doesn't have to be exactly at the hours listed.

The 10 min period time frame worked. As of1/17/14
The times for this are: 8am, 10am, 12pm, 4pm, 6pm, 12 am.
Unplug ethernet from the back of your xbox if you have wire internet, if wireless go all the way over from the dashboard to settings - system - network settings - (Before disconnecting make sure you know your routers password/key!!) choice your network router and hit Y to disconnect from it. Go back should be in system settings still. Double make sure you are offline.
Go to settings - Console settings - clock - date and time - here are the times to change it too dont forget to change AM or PM! I set mine one min before X:50 so that gave me time to load it up.
Make sure you hit A to confirm if you back out it won't save the time! Load up the maw game under "my games" - load up level - the bulb level just wait a min then exit it will save once you do then wait til it's done saving then dashboard.

Why post a solution that is already mentioned?

change the timezones to all the ones mentioned above (8am, 10am, 12pm, 4pm, 6pm, and 12 am) then go into the Maw, i went to the bulb level, and once the level starts, exit and it will save, then repeat for the other times. from what i encountered, you can be within 10 minutes of each time. for example (7:50 am-8:10am for the breakfast time of 8 am) So once u change your timezones to fit all of the meal times the achievement should unlock.

I can confirm this, you have a time window of 20 minutes to achieve this one.

Appreciate everyone's prior solutions. Here's my lazy man's guide.
Plug in your wired/plug & play controller, start the game, and let it sit. Go to work, play some Xbox One, whatever you need to do. Come back to the achievement.

Elem3ntal80’s guide above is excellent. And Innkeeper is correct, the grace period is wide, likely 30 minutes before and after the hour. It’s wider than the ten minutes Flydog92 suggests.
I just wanted to advise those who wish to force the achievement by manually setting their clocks, yet also want the timestamp: Simply leave for last a timeframe that you would unlock naturally.
I was playing at around 4pm, so that was done. I manually pushed 12am, 8am, 10am, and 12pm. 6pm was my last remaining timeframe. I signed back into Live and started playing The Maw at 5:45pm. The achievement immediately unlocked as I loaded a level, and it is timestamped.

I'm playing the game on my Xbox one as part of the game pass so I can't play it on the 360 is there a way to change my time on the one?

Just a point to be aware of if you are playing this through Xbox Game Pass, or after purchasing for Xbox Backwards Compatibility.
You must quit out of the game, then go to settings and change your Xbox One time zone. You then have to reload the game back up - ensuring you have successfully logged into Xbox Live once the Xbox 360 game has loaded up.
Once you have loaded the game up it will change the Xbox 360 clock. You can not do this whilst still playing as the Xbox 360 clock will not change until you have quit out of the game completely via the Xbox sidebar and pressing and then clicking 'Quit'.
Other than this. Follow the above solutions.

You can mess around with the time zone setting on the 360, load up a level and then quit out so it saves. Keep changing time zones and doing this until the achievement unlocks. (Thanks to Hayden for this tip) Alternatively, you can keep playing the game at various times of the day until it unlocks.
This guide was translated automatically.
You need to play the game for one day at the following times: 8:00 am, 10:00, 12:00, 16:00, 18:00 and 12:00 at night (at 00:00)
You can simply switch the time in the console settings after disconnecting from the Internet.

On Xbox One, you can use time zone change (you cannot change the time). Enter the game, load the level, exit it and exit the game (required). Change region and repeat
