moe also suggests this can be defined as "a meal":
一天中定时所吃的早,中,晚三餐。

gf on the other hand says:
主要的饭食, 一般指午餐和晚餐。

abc, oxford, a c-e dict all say:
dinner/a regular meal served in a restaurant

according to baidu it is:
一天吃几顿饭
which agrees more with moe...meaning a meal...

Editor: going with Matic's last suggestion, which is much better.
Dicts' defs are rather lame; even "dinner" is at best ambiguous. I think it's rather evident what 正餐 means.
"main course" is from a western perspective.
Diff:
# 正餐 正餐 [zheng4 can1] /meal/dinner/a regular meal served in a restaurant/
+ 正餐 正餐 [zheng4 can1] /(regular) meal/full meal/main course/
