US Federal law does not require breaks at all; it simply says that breaks count as working time if they're "short". (usually 5-20 minutes). Meals (usually 30 minutes or longer, though under some circumstances they may be shorter) do not count as working time if the worker is completely relieved from duty during the meal (if you are required to stay at your work station while eating, then it's counted as working time). State laws may specify mandatory break periods, but you'd need to be more specific as to what state and what type of work it is for your question to be fully answered.
