When you feel hungry again, eat, once again as outlined by the checklist. If the problem is that you don't seem to be hungry, and then suddenly you are ravenously hungry and eat foods that do not adhere to MWL, it might make sense to try to have a meal sooner than you have been; but, the key is to not neglect the starch component of the meal, and to make sure whatever you choose to eat at any time satisfies the MWL guidelines.
