Hello!!! Ideally you shouldn't snack so have it with one of your meals. I normally have two meals so have my alcohol with my dinner. Sometimes I have a need earlier in the evening so I have a drink with a small snack and enter it all into MFP

Breakfast (couldn't help it; I've been feeling so faint at work and I'm a teacher so it's either 6:30am or 12:30pm!) white toast and low fat margarine plus black coffee

Lunch: bagel with low fat houmous and cucumber, caramel snack a jacks and two nectarines

Dinner: spinach and ricotta ravioli with courgette, mushrooms sweetcorn and white wine

Remember, there is nothing magical about skipping breakfast! It's all about delaying your first meal to end up with 12-16 hours from the end of your last meal to your first. 2 and 3 meals are allowed.

It's the no snacking part that matters!

How bad is it to cheat with red meat? I have had very small amounts of chicken every so often, but just once with red meat in the 11 weeks I have been on LE. That red meat cheat was 2 weeks ago and ever since I have been craving ground beef. I just want a taco or lasagna or hamburger or Sheppards pie...something with red meat ground beef. Does anyone who is doing vegetarian do red meat every couple of weeks?

[XXforhubby]

I've only had red meat once since February. I couldn't avoid it at the time and had a very small amount. I do have chicken occasionally- like once every two weeks or so.

I think it's fine. I would be hesitant to have it frequently because it's loaded with nutrients that sway bit big time! Once occasionally should be fine!
