How would you say for dinner in Japanese would you say Bangohan no tame ni? Or
is that only for verbs for a person

For dinner I ate
ために means "for the sake of...", so it can't be used in this context. Here, you
could use a simple construction with は.  
For example: ばんごはんは、ラーメンを食べました。(I ate Ramen for dinner.)

Just に can also be used. Like "as/for something" ばんごはんにカレーを食べた。(I ate curry
