Actually, We do not use these sentences, “你吃过（饭）了吗?”or“吃饭了吗？”, as greeting words when seeing your friends or acquaintances at any time.

一般，在正常的用餐时间的前后，我们常用这些问候语。
Generally, We use these greeting words before or atfer normal time for dinner.

比如，在早上七点到九点，中午11点到下午1点，下午5点到7点或8点，用...

Yeah indeed.

We are not greeting people all the time with "你吃了吗？", most of the time we say Hi/Hello. "Have you finished your dinner?" is in most cases used during dinner time.
