2 I've been in Egypt for a week.
3 I've been learning English for two months.

Some people use: breakfast, lunch, dinner
Some people use: breakfast, dinner, supper
Personally, I use "lunch" and "dinner" when eating out, but "dinner" and "supper" at home. (So I suppose I could have "dinner" twice in one day!)
Also, you can't really say "I've had dinner since 12:30." This sense of "have" requires the continuous form. You could, however, say "I've had dinner every day this year" since this talks about something habitually done.
